EFFECT OF WASTE ENGINE OIL ON AGEING INTENSITY IN A MARINE DIESEL ENGINE WITH HIGH BOOST
The key directions of the oil aging process are closely interrelated with its fumes and this is once again confirmed by the motor experiment. The degree of oxidation of the engine oil subjected to identification by increasing the concentration of insoluble impurities identifies the thermo-oxidative destruction of the present hydrocarbons. The results of modeling the process of wear of parts of the cylinder-piston group of marine diesel are considered. Through the application of the theory of experiment planning, the range of minimum wear is revealed, the dependence is focused on the values of the quality indicators of the used fuels and lubricants, the engine boost and the amount of engine oil burn. The change in the values in the main directions of oil aging as a result of reducing its fumes was noted. There has been revealed engine oil burnout in which the operation of the diesel engine is accompanied by less carbon and varnish formation on its pistons and the wear rate of the elements of the cylinder-piston group, the engine oil being in excellent condition in terms of the composition of aging products. Oil aging rate is determined at each stage of trial, according to sample analysis. There is given the matrix of experiment planning, as well as results of its processing. There are established the equations usable in trunk diesel operation that help to analyze general and specific rate of motor oil ageing, the initial values being values of oil waste, properties of fuels and lubricants and engine forcing. Motor oil of М-14-Г<sub>2</sub> grade (circulating system) has been recommended to use for efficient and durable operation of ship diesels with average and low boost. For high powered engines operating on deep refining fuels it is possible to use the following oil grades: М-14-Д<sub>2</sub> (cl 20) и М-14-Д<sub>2</sub> (cl 30) with high neutralizing and motor qualities.
