Lubricating Oil Centrifuges and List of Lubricating Oils

For Unattended Machinery Spaces (UMS), auto-
matic centrifuges with total discharge or partial
discharge are to be used. Manual cleaning cen-
trifuges can only be used for Attended Machinery
Spaces (AMS).
The nominal capacity of the centrifuge is to be
according to the supplier's recommendation for
lubricating oil, based on the figure:
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.
The oils listed below have all given long-term sat-
isfactory service in MAN B&W engine installations:
