Cylinder Lube Oil Analysis

The Problem

Cylinder Lube oil is high quality lubrication of the cylinder liner and can cost up to 10% of fuel costs. Cylinder Oil drain analysis is a key component of evaluating the combustion process of the engine. Together with fuel and lube oil analysis, these three tests constitute a complete baseline testing set. Cylinder oil drain analysis is a detailed study that requires a complete spectrum of complex tests.

The Solution

1. Viswa Lab has a state of the art facility and equipment at which accurate Cylinder Oil drain analysis can be performed.
2. The study of the fuel, the main engine temperature and pressure, the cylinder oil drain analysis, the cylinder lubrication feed and records all help Viswa Lab in coming to a decision on the
   1. Adequacy of cylinder lubrication
   2. Wear and tear
   3. Combustion conditions
   4. Acid condensation and reserve alkalinity
   5. Trend analysis of the lubrication over time
   6. Prognosis of engine condition
3. Cylinder Oil drain analysis can help determine and regulate cylinder oil feed and determine the time to change the oil. This can result in significant reduction in the operating costs of a ship.
