APPLICATIONS
|
- Cylinder lubrication of the latest, highly rated low speed crosshead marine diesel engines operating on low sulphur heavy fuels with a maximum sulphur content of 2.5%.
- The feed rates recommended by the manufacturer should be maintained as the minimum. Higher feed rates may be required when running new liners and/or rings.
- Recommendations of the relevant engine builder must be fully complied while selecting cylinder oil as expert views on low sulphur fuels are still evolving
|
|
BENEFITS
|
- Superior thermal and oxidation stability reduces deposit and sludge formation.
- Excellent detergency minimizes deposits on critical parts viz. pistons, piston rings, ring grooves and cylinder ports.
- Enhanced anti-wear property minimizes liner and ring wear leading to reduced maintenance costs.
- Good compatibility with all normal seal materials.
- Reduced ash level helps in avoiding excessive piston top land deposits which
- may occur when using 70 TBN oils with low sulphur fuels.
