HIGH TEMPERATURE LUBRICANTS FOR LOW HEAT REJECTION DIESEL ENGINES
This paper describes the effort currently underway at Cummins and AKZO Chemicals to develop liquid lubricants capable of satisfying the requirements of advanced low heat rejection diesel engines. These new lubricant formulations are based on a synthetic basestock which decomposes with low deposit formation at high temperatures. Bench testing illustrates the progress being made in the development of this basestock. In addition, replacement of the lubricant overbase additives by an external acid filter is being investigated. Initial engine test results in both conventional and high temperature engines are presented. In addition, the high temperature single cylinder engine being readied for the lubricant screening tests is described. (A) For the covering abstract of the proceedings see IRRD 853538.
