WEAR INVESTIGATIONS OF SELECTED ELEMENTS OF MEDIUM SPEED DIESEL ENGINES FEEDED WITH RESIDUAL FUELS
Journal Title: Tribologia - Year 2014, Vol 254, Issue 2
Abstract
The paper presents the results of the selected object, the elements and of tribological systems in the aspect of wear processes. The objects of research were medium speed engines produced under license from Sulzer. Among the tested objects were the types of engines powered by residual fuels subject to intensive wear. These fuels contain significant amounts of sulphur and water and have a large number of Conradson carbon residue. The wear investigations were performed under natural conditions. The paper also describes the conditions under which the test engines operate, which are often unfavourable tropical conditions. A significant wear of crank pins, cylinder liners, pistons, and cylinder heads were indicated. Intensive wear results from engine design, in which the lubrication system of pistons and sleeves and bearings of the crankshaft is the same. The wear investigations were carried out by applying passive observation, geometrical measurements, and analysis of images, and with applying passive and passive-active diagnostic experiments. The inspected engines showed intensive wear of metal materials and the formation of deposits. An identification of types of the wear was also a purpose of the research.
