3.3 Oil Consumption Measurement
The integrated magnetic indicator and scale (7, Fig. 3) are used to measure the
lubricating oil consumption.
The specified, theoretic feed rate is set in the WECS−9520. To change the
parameters use the operator interface (see 4002−3, paragraph 1.1).
Note: Make sure that the lubricating oil level is always above the mark (1) on
the scale (7). If not, air can go into the system and cause a malfunction.
To check the parameters and make sure that the lubricating oil system operates
correctly, measure the oil consumption at the measurement tube (4).
Do the steps that follow:
1) Close the ball valve (5).
2) Open the ball valve (8).
3) When you can see the oil level on the scale (7), mark the oil level and start the
time measurement.
4) After the specified time (15 minutes to 20 minutes) mark the oil level on the scale
again.
5) Open the ball valve (5).
6) Keep the ball valve (8) open until oil that flows has no air.
7) Close the ball valve (8).
8) Read the distance between the two marks on the scale (7), then apply the
conversion factor of 1 cm = 0.223 l to find the consumed oil quantity in liters.
Note: The conversion factor is related to the size of the measurement tube. For
more data, see the label on the measurement tube.
To calculate the specific cylinder lubricating oil consumption (g/kWh), see 7218−2,
paragraph 2.1.
