Data-driven Lubrication

Share

Maersk Fluid Technology has advanced its Sea-Mate blending-on-board system with integrated software that automates its production of cylinder lubricants using data from sensors aboard the vessel. The system blends the base oil with a high base number cylinder oil that is then added to the engine sump in two-stroke engines. “The use of this technology can reduce cylinder oil consumption and alleviate issues such as cold corrosion and excessive cylinder wear,” the company adds. The Sea-Mate is comprised of three models (B500, B1000 and B3000) with different capacities, making them suitable for a variety of engine sizes. Web: www.maerskfluid.com
