TRIBOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF LUBRICATING OIL USED IN MARINE DIESEL ENGINE

Journal Title: Tribologia - Year 2014, Vol 255, Issue 3

Abstract

The paper presents tribological characteristics of Titan Truck Plus 15W40 lubricating oil used in trunk piston marine diesel engine Caterpillar 3512B. The test results were collected by means of a four-ball extreme pressure tester T-02 according to PN-76/C-04147. The manufacturer of Caterpillar 3512B engine recommends lubricating oil change after every 1000 hours of operation. Figures 2 to 5 present the moment of friction and temperature courses for an increasing load of the friction nodes lubricated by different oil samples. Lubricating oil samples were taken from an engine oil system in recommended operating period. Based on obtained characteristics, seizure points Pt were determined. It was found that seizure point is not an authoritative index to asses lubricating oil. The essential is the change of friction moment in whole load range that makes it possible to determine the boundary layer destruction and its regeneration process in time.
