    MAN Diesel: Treatment of Lubricating Oil

    Uploaded by

    Sona Narula
    This document provides recommendations for treating lubricating oil on engines operating with different fuels. It recommends installing additional filtration equipment like centrifugal bypass filters when operating on marine diesel oil or heavy fuel oil. It provides guidelines for separator sizing based on engine output and operating time. Continuous cleaning of lubricating oil is necessary during operation. Separators can be installed directly on each engine or in a common setup for multiple engines with valves to isolate flow.

    General

    Operation on Marine Diesel Oil (MDO) Q = required flow (l/h)


    P = engine output (kW).
    At engine operation on MDO we recommend to install t = actual effective separator operating time
    a build on centrifugal by-pass filter as an addition- per day (hour)
    ally filter to the build on full flow depth filter and the n = number of turnovers per day of the
    lubricating oil separator. theoretical oil volume corresponding to
    1.36 l/kW or 1 l/HP.

    Operation on Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) The following values for "n" are recommended:

    HFO operating engines requires effective lubricating n = 5 for HFO operating (residual)
    oil cleaning. In order to secure a safe operation it is n = 4 for MDO operating
    necessary to use a supplement cleaning equipment n = 3 for distillate fuel
    together with the built on full flow depth filter. For
    this purpose a centifugal unit, a decanter unit or an Example: for 1000 kW engine operating on HFO,
