Marine Lube Oil Filter
Filter for marine engines
Find here why an effective lubricating oil filtration is essential for the protection of marine engines and what filter systems are suitable for this purpose.
Function of lube oil
Lubre oil is very important for the functionality of a ship's engine. It forms a separation film between adjacent moving parts in order to prevent direct contact between them which then reduces friction, heat transfer and wear.
One of the most important characteristics of lube oil is its viscosity. This must be high enough in order to retain the film of lube oil and sufficiently low in order to enable the oil to flow within the engine.
How contamination occurs
During operation of the engine, the characteristics of the oil changes. Particles of soot accrue in the combustion process, as well as small metallic particles, caused by mechanical friction. These contaminations increase the viscosity of the oil which, thereby, can no longer fulfil its protective function. The consequences are, amongst others:
- increased fuel consumption
- drop in performance of the engine
- as well as increased wear and tear to the components of the engine
Oil filter for the lube oil care
In order to exclude these risks, effective filtration of the lubricating oil and care of the lubricant is essential. However, so that the engine can also be continuously protected, the use of lubricating oil care is essential. This oil care includes efficient filters that retain dirt particles, as well as from separators or centrifuges, discharge the particles of contamination from the lubricating oil. Thereby, retention of the quality of the oil, as well as protection of the engine is the focal point.
Extensions and improvements are also possible in numerous existing filter systems. Because BOLLFILTER consequently retain dirt particles and protect the consumer.
They continuously improve the reliability of the engine and in the long-term. This saves resources, protects the environment and reduces the operating costs of the engine.
