08 Lubrication Oil

System in E/R
Course 2004

Lubrication Oil System - E/R

Purpose of the rules and regulations;

To achieve safe and reliable lubrication of engines and turbines.

To achieve safe and reliable stern tube lubrication

Lubrication Oil System - E/R

Fire hazard
- Piping design
- Quick closing valves

Supply to M/E
- Redundant filtering devices or by-pass options
- Emergency supply for machinery with long roll-out times (e.g. turbines)
- LO separator required for HFO plants

h General requirements:

If double bottom is required in the E/R and lubricating oil tank extend
to the bottom plating

A valve with hand wheel is to be fitted between the M/E

crankcase and the double bottom tank.

h Lubricating oil pretreatment arrangement:

In systems where lube oil circulates under pressure

Efficient filtering is to be arranged.
For non-redundant units it must be possible to clean the filters
without interrupting the oil supply.
If automatic cleaning filters are used, a bypass is to be arranged.
For diesel engines burning residual oil fuel, cleaning of the
lube oil by purifiers are to be arranged in addition.

h Lubricating oil supply:
Each auxiliary engine or turbine is to be supplied with at least one
lubricating pump.

Sufficient capacity for the maximum output of the engine.

Slide 6

h Remote shut-off arrangement:
Valves on lubricating tanks above the double bottom and
which are open during normal service.
AND

Valves located below top of the tank or overflow outlet.

The valves are to arranged for remote shut-off.

The above requirement may be exempted from for small tanks

(I.e. less than 0.5m3)
AND

For tanks for which an unintended closing of the valves may

result in loss of main function.

Gear Pump
The gear pump is well suited for handling viscous fluids such as fuel and
lubricating oils.

Consists of two spur gears meshing together and revolving in opposite

directions within a casing.

Any liquid that fills the space bounded by two successive gear teeth
mesh with the case must flow along with the teeth as they revolve.

Slide 18

Screw Pump

Screw pump consists of two screws that mesh with close

clearances, mounted on two parallel shafts.

The screws rotate in closely fitting duplex cylinders that have

overlapping bores.

Plate type Heat Exchanger

The plate heat exchanger consists of a pack of corrugated metal
plates with portholes for the passage of the two fluids between
which heat transfer will take place.

The plate pack is assembled between a frame plate and a

pressure plate and compressed by tightening bolts.
