Marine engine oil performance study using a process parameter matrix

Abstract

In this study a method has been developed that allows to increase the service life of mechanisms and improve the reliability of ship equipment in operating conditions. The effect is achieved by detecting the most significant and influential parameters of the motor oil used, establishing boundary values for each of them and determining the degree of deviation of the actual parameters from the boundary parameters. The processing of an array of physical and chemical data on engine oil, taking into account the time between failures of equipment, is carried out by a specialized computer program being developed for monitoring the state of a marine engine in operation. The designed software package allows to maintain of the SPP (ship power plant) more accurate and timelier.
