This paper reports that the authors have succeeded in developing a new technology which makes it possible to use lubricating oil (LO) semi-permanently without oil renewal and without waste oil. The technology was developed based on the authors' belief that LO oxidation is negligible and that LO may be used semi-permanently if sludge removal is speedy enough and LO is always kept clean. The technology is called kidney system and it has been working well in about 1000 units of marine and cogeneration diesel engines, in about 50 hydraulic machine companies and in about 60 machine workshops. Nearly no oxidation of LO was verified based on the field data. This paper also reports that LO consumption was reduced to 1/5 - 1/10, engine reliability was much improved and initial high performance was kept for a long time in the engines equipped with the kidney system.
A study on nearly non-oxidation characteristics of lubricating oil and a new lub and fuel oil system for semi-permanent use of lub oil, no waste oil and higher reliability in marine diesel engines
