论文已在中国上海举行的第27届CIMAC大会上发表。论文的版权归CIMAC所有。 Evolving marine fuels sulphur content legislation and the advent of slow steaming have consequences for engine maintenance costs and cylinder oil performance, in turn creating a challenge in maintaining safety margins while optimising operational efficiency. Castrol will present the results of its field eval- uations that demonstrate the way slow steaming increases demands on cylinder lubrication. Based on research and development carried out in the labora-tory and onboard ship, the company will present data showing that in certain conditions the selection of an 80 BN cylinder oil will prevent cold corrosion if thfuel sulphur level, engine load and feed rate make the lubricant stresses too severe for lower BN lubricants. At a time when the industry is likely to see a higher proportion of fuel bunker deliveries at the highest end of allowable sulphur content range, Castrol will outline why an 80BN lubricant enables optimised feed rates and provides greater neutralisation capacity, andhence better corrosion protection across the fuel sulphur range while slow steaming. Furthermore, as well as offering fuel cost savings, reducing overall speedcan mitigate concerns over ash deposits when operat-ing on low sulphur fuels in Emissions Control Areas.
