Analysis of Decreasing Lubricating Oil Pressure on Main Engine Case Study: MT Rayong Chemi Ship
Keywords:
lubricating oil pressure, main engine performance, SEM, ship lubrication systemAbstract
This study examines the effect of reduced lubricating oil pressure on the performance of the MT Rayong Chemi main engine. Decreased lubricating oil pressure causes increased friction between engine components, decreased efficiency, and accelerated wear. The method used is a quantitative approach with Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis assisted by the AMOS application. Data were obtained through a questionnaire that has been tested for validity and reliability. The results show that reduced lubricating oil pressure has a significant impact on the decline in main engine performance (p < 0.05). This study emphasizes the importance of lubrication system maintenance, including regular filter replacement and pressure calibration to maintain optimal engine performance.
