Acid corrosion is a phenomenon that specifically affects crosshead engines operating with heavy fuel oil.
Regular analysis of the amount of metal abrasion in lubricants protects against impending damage to machines in time. The iron content is of particular importance. The concentration is used to assess the wear and tear of the tested machines. This is particularly important when testing the cylinder wiper oil of 2-stroke marine engines.
CM Technologies offers various solutions for on-site iron testing as well as application-specific test kits.
Many years of experience in the installation and commissioning on board of ocean-going vessels enable us to do cost-effective retrofits or new constructions, including a final commissioning, which can be carried out with minimal business interruption. As a full-service provider, we are able to handle every phase of a project from design and construction to installation, commissioning and training. CMT has a qualified team of assembly and commissioning engineers with extensive experience of on-site requirements. Installation and commissioning can be offered with all devices purchased from CMT.
We put together some explanations for you, to better understand the test results of your cylinder drain oil of your onsite testing device or the report of our qualified laboratory. Our experts are happy to help if you have any further questions.
The CMT SDA laboratory report in cooperation with OelCheck is a compact dataset showing the complete details for all cylinders. Even at first glance, it provides essential information about where action needs to be taken. A matrix provides further information about the state of the cylinder oils, the lubricant feed rate in each cylinder, additives and alkalinity reserve, viscosity and abrasion, as well as other impurities such as cat fines, water, soot, silicon and metals such as nickel and vanadium.
