PISTON LUBRICATION OF MITSUBISHI UE DIESEL ENGINES

Since Mitsubishi's first design of a low-speed marine diesel engine in the 1960s, the design has been continuously improved. Some of the design changes that went into the development of the company's UE series of engines have had a significant impact in relation to piston ring and cylinder liner lubrication. The design conception for accomplishing lubrication is explained and running results, both good and bad, are briefly discussed. The paper concludes by noting some ideas being considered for the future, including electronically controlled lubricating systems, an online ferrographic monitoring system, and laser-hardened cylinder liners.
