TOWARDS WEAR REDUCTION IN ENGINES USING RESIDUAL FUEL

Although this paper describes an investigation into the causes of wear in direct drive marine diesel engines, it is equally applicable to medium speed four-cycle engines. The operating factors investigated were jacket temperature, the comparison of a lubricating oil of high alkalinity as compared with a straight mineral oil, fuel composition and the degree of centrifuging of the fuel. Results of these investigations are presented, along with suggestions for improvements arising out of the investigation.
