Lubricating Oil Centrifuges and List of Lubricating Oils
Manual cleaning centrifuges can only be used
for Attended Machinery Spaces (AMS). For Unat-
tended Machinery Spaces (UMS), automatic cen-
trifuges with total discharge or partial discharge
are to be used.
The nominal capacity of the centrifuge is to be
according to the supplier’s recommendation for
lubricating oil, based on the gures:
0.136 litre/kWh
The Nominal MCR is used as the total installed
power.
List of lubricating oils
The circulating oil (lubricating and cooling oil)
must be of the rust and oxidation inhibited type of
oil of SAE 30 viscosity grade.
In order to keep the crankcase and piston cooling
spaces clean of deposits, the oil should have ad-
equate dispersion and detergent properties.
Alkaline circulating oils are generally superior in
this respect.
