1. General
The cylinder lubrication system operates independently to lubricate the cylinder liners
and pistons. The Wärtsilä Engine Control System (WECS-9520) monitors and
controls the adjustable load related supply rate of lubricating oil to each lubrication
point.
1.1 Cylinder Lubricating Oil
During usual operation, a high-additive, alkaline cylinder lubricating oil is necessary.
The alkalinity of the lubricating oil that is chosen is related to the sulphur content of
the fuel (see 0750-1 Operating Media, paragraph 3).
1.2 Running-in
For running-in, approved cylinder lubricating oil is recommended (see 0410-1
Running-in of New Cylinder Liners and Piston Rings).
