Analysis of the Increase in Water Content in Oil Lubricating Auxiliary Engine on Ships MT West Poit
Keywords:
Lubricated oil, water content, auxiliary engine, vessel, engine performanceAbstract
This study aims to analyze the factors that cause the increase in water content in auxiliary engine lubrication oil on the MT West Point ship, as well as its impact on engine performance. The methods used in this study include regular sampling of lubricating oil, laboratory analysis to measure moisture content, and observation of the lubrication system and operational environmental conditions. The results of this study show that the increase in moisture content in lubricating oil has a significant impact on viscosity, lubrication power, and corrosion risk in engine components. Therefore, preventive measures are needed such as regular monitoring of lubricating oil quality, stricter maintenance of the cooling system, and the implementation of cleaner and safer lubricating oil filling procedures.
