Cylinder Lubricating Oil System
The cost of the cylinder lubricating oil is one of the
largest contributions to total operating costs, next
to the fuel oil cost. Another aspect is that the lu-
brication rate has a great inuence on the cylinder
condition, and thus on the overhauling schedules
and maintenance costs.
It is therefore of the utmost importance that the
cylinder lubricating oil system as well as its opera-
tion is optimised.
Cylinder Oils
Cylinder oils should, preferably, be of the SAE 50
viscosity grade.
Modern highrated twostroke engines have a
relatively great demand for detergency in the cyl-
inder oil. Therefore cylinder oils should be chosen
according to the below list.
A BN 70 cylinder oil is to be used as the default
choice of oil and it may be used on all fuel types.
However, in case of the engine running on fuel
with sulphur content lower than .5% for more
than to 2 weeks, we recommend to change to a
lower BN cylinder oil such as BN 40-50.
The cylinder oils listed below have all given long-
term satisfactory service during heavy fuel opera-
tion in MAN B&W engine installations:
Cylinder Oil Feed Rate (Dosage)
The recommendations are valid for all plants,
whether controllable pitch or xed pitch propellers
are used.
In case of average sulphur content, the average
cylinder oil feed rate at nominal MCR for MAN
B&W Alpha Cylinder Lubricator is 0.7 g/kWh.
Adjustment of the cylinder oil dosage to the sul-
phur content in the fuel being burnt is further ex-
plained in section 9.02.
Also other brands have been used with satisfac-
tory results.
