Different oils and lubricants
The engine uses different other oils and lubricants. WinGD recommends as follows:
•
Turbocharger oil
To select the turbocharger lubricating oil and keep this oil in a satisfactory condition, refer
to the recommendations given in the turbocharger instruction manual. The turbocharger
lubricating oil is usually system oil or turbine oil.
•
Turning gear oil
To select the turning gear oil and to keep this oil in a satisfactory condition, refer to the
recommendations given in the instruction manual of the turning gear manufacturer.
•
Lubricants for flywheel and pinion gear teeth
To select and apply the lubricants for flywheel and pinion gear teeth, refer to the
recommendations from the engine manufacturer.
Suppliers of applicable lubricants for flywheel and pinion gear teeth are given in
of lubricants for flywheel and pinion gear teeth
For other applicable lubricants speak to the lubricant supplier.
•
Environmentally acceptable lubricants
Environmentally Acceptable Lubricants (EAL) are currently necessary for ships operating
in USA waters, and this area may be extended in future.
These lubricants, which are necessary for all oil-to-sea interfaces (and include stern tubes,
thrusters, rudders, stabilizers, variable pitch propellers, underwater ropes, machinery and
underwater transmissions) are made with base oils and additives which are different to those
used for system oils and cylinder oils.
Thus, EAL must not be mixed with system oils or cylinder oils. Contamination of EAL (related
to base oil quality) in system oil or cylinder oil can cause different problems (eg elastomer
compatibility, water emulsification, high temperature deposit formation).
