Marine Cylinder Oil
Marine lubricants refer to lubricating oil and lubricating grease that used in marine industry. The use of lubricants and lubricant parameters on ships is an important role managed by the main engine lube oil system. This consists of a pump that pressurizes the oil, circulating it through a set of filters and a cooler before distribution to all the moving components of the diesel engine. Cylinder Oils are blended from highly refined base oils and multifunctional additive packages. They can be used in crosshead engines running on high sulfur content diesel or residual fuels. To counter the risk of corrosion from sulphuric acid condensates, marine cylinder oils are formulated with a higher alkalinity (BN) than found in other lubricants: typical automotive engine oils may be in the 8-15 BN range, for example, while current marine cylinder lubricants are typically of 40-80 BN.
