TRANSCRIPT
Feed Rate OptimisationReducing costs incurred in tackling cold corrosionCold corrosion increases acidity within cylinder liners. Alkaline lubricant oil can tackle this.But you have to get it right...
Parker Kittiwake’s LinerSCAN, used by
companies including AP Moller-Maersk Group,
Hapag Lloyd, Ernst Russ and Reederei F. Laeisz,
informs feed rate reduction and helps achieve
maximum penetration of the lubrication safety buffer.

The cost of non-optimal lubrication
Over-lubrication of a cylinder lube can cost
$100,000Under-lubricate and risk cold corrosion: Average insurance claim for unexpected liner loss
$250,000
Feed rate optimisation: identifying how much cylinder lube oil injection can be reduced to achieve optimum operating conditions
A 0.1 g/kWh reduction in cylinder oil dosage represents a significant yearly saving- up to
$30,000
In these efficiency-conscious times...
Often four times the normal level of required lubricant is used
