Use of Drain Oil Analysis A quick method to find the optimal lubrication feed rate is to carry out a so-called lube oil sweep test. Drain samples are taken at different lube oil dosages. Each dosages is run for 24 hours, where-after drain samples are taken and the oil dosages adjusted to next step. Plotting drain samples from variations of the oil dosages will show: Increasing wear by decreasing oil dosages Decreasing alkalinity reserve (BN) by decreasing oil dosages November 2015 < 28 >
Use of Drain Oil Analysis Lube oil sweep test carried out at 1.4, 1.2, 1.0, 0.8 and 0.6 g/kwh. X-axis converted to ACC-factor (1.4 g/kwh / 3.53 S% = ACC-factor 0.40 g/kwh x S%) On 60 size engine wear limit compares 100 ppm iron. Consequently, ACC factor should be 0.27 g/kwh x S% which result in a reserve at BN16 November 2015 < 29 >
Automated Cylinder Oil Mixing (ACOM) Mix a high BN and a BN25 cylinder oils step-less Blending range from BN25 to BN100 or higher Insure optimal BN at minimum federate anytime Significantly reduced cylinder oil dosages Minimum feed rate result in increased lubricating efficiency Always correct viscosity and optimal detergency Quick change between BN levels when changing fuel (in/out of SECA) November 2015 < 30 >
