Objectives: To enhance the Senior Engineers awareness on the effects and troubles of machinery on deteriorated lube oil quality.

. To be familiar with the different NYK manuals and guidelines relating to Lube Oil Management.

To be able to identify counter measures in preventing machinery damage/failure due to deterioration of lube oil quality.

Introduction The cost of lubricants are highly expensive. However, the loss to be incurred by the ship owner, which is economically pervasive, is the amount of repair of a serious machinery breakdown and the loss in the operation of the vessel that occurs due to the effect of deteriorated lube oil. It is the task of the shipboard engineers with the use of proper engine management to monitor, assess and treat the quality of lubrication oil that will prevent certain damage to the machinery.

Lube Oil Analysis

Accurately monitor and assess the condition of the lubricating oil, the engine lubricated part and the proper treatment required.
Follow the procedures stipulated in the Safety Management System Manual.

 Spot Test Results

Good Little contaminants

Indicate date and name of Lube Oil and keep this as records.

 Indication of Spot Test Results for Lube Oil:

A colorless spot or a slight yellow outer ring "good" oil. A dense, dark deposit zone - Dispersancy failure A black, pasty zone - Glycol (Antifreeze) in your oil A dark center with distinct outer ring - Severely oxidized oil A dark center with surrounding rings - Fuel in oil

Shore Analysis
Lube Oil Sample should be sent to designated laboratories every 3 months or as necessary for analysis.
Taking sample

Always Follow NYK SMS Manual Procedures and other related Company instructions.

1.Capacity:more than 450cc 2. Make space in the bottle due to uniformity the sample oil before start analysis. 3. Sampling point is always same.

Cylinder Oil is accounted for 70-80% Lubrication expense Cost Efficiency/Good Lubrication Condition

 Cost Efficiency Cylinder Oil Feed Rate Reduction 0.1 g/kw/hr = 10% savings for the monthly cost: For 6000 TEU Container Vessel 40,000 ltrs/month ( 10% = 4000 Ltrs) or about US$ 8000/month For PCC Vessel 20,000 ltrs/month ( 10% =2000Ltrs) or about US$ 4000/month

 Bad Effect of Wrong Judgement?

Calculation of Feed Rate (QActual)

QACT =
Where:

QCONS/Day X Density X 1000

24 X PACT

QACT - Converted consumption rate at actual power QCONS/Day Cylinder Oil Consumption (Ltr/day) Density O.943 PACT Acual Power

Calculation of Feed Rate (QMCR)

QMCR =
Where:

Q ACTUAL X N MCR X P Actual

N ACTUALX PMCR

QMCR - Converted Cylinder oil feed ratio at derated (specified) MCR QACT - Converted consumption rate at actual power NACT - Actual Revolution (Rpm) PACT Actual Power NMCR - Derated (specified) maximum continuous revolution (Rpm) PMCR Derated (specified) Maximum Continuous Rating (Kw)

 Comparison of Feed Ratio (QACTUAL and QMCR )

QACTUAL varies with the actual power of the main engine.

QMCR is the baseline of feed rate measurement Note: Adjustment of cylinder oil feed rate to main engine shall be based on QMCR. QMCR should be indicated in the Power Report.
