| Cylinder oil Drain Analysis |
| |
| Why Cylinder Oil Drain Analysis is important: |
|
| |
| It gives information on: |
 |
combustion conditions in the cylinder |
|
wear rate of the rubbing parts of the cylinder liner and piston ring |
|
potential for major problems as a result of serious blow back in the engines |
|
adequacy of cylinder lubrication and the risks / danger of contamination of cylinder oil drain with crankcase oil |
| |
|
| Cylinder Oil Drain Analysis is a detailed study that requires state of the art facilities in the lab to carry out a complete spectrum of tests and experienced staff to interpret results, study trend analysis and provide adequate prognosis of engine condition. Viswa Lab provides a succinct and easily understandable report which can be used by technical staff onboard the ship and ashore to quickly take important decisions pertaining to machinery condition. A saving of 0.4 gm per bhph on a 6 cylinder engine can generate a saving of nearly USD $60,000 in a year. Cylinder lube oils can cost up to 10% of the total fuel costs. |
