2.2 How to Set the Best Applicable Feed Rate
Use the empirical data (see paragraph 2.1) from the PU drain oil samples to adjust
the feed rate to get the best applicable feed rate.
Note: You must make sure that the feed rate is not less than the minimum
permitted value of 0.6 g/kWh.
If the residual BN is in the safe area (Fig. 2), adjust the feed rate in steps of
0.05 g/kWh to get the iron content value to approximately 200 mg/kg. You must get
PU drain oil samples regularly to make sure that the feed rate used is applicable.
WinGD recommends that you do a check of the coating thickness of the piston rings
each 1500 to 2000 running hours.
For more data, refer to Service Bulletin RT-161 Issue 2 Cylinder Lubrication.
