Lubmarine test engine puts research first.
(From Lloyds List)
MARITIME lubricants supplier Lubmarine has installed what it claims is a unique test engine at its TotalFinaElf Research Centre (CRES) at Solaize, near Lyons, France, writes Hugh O'Mahony.
The $2m MAN B'W Innovator-4C engine will come into service this May to test new lubricant formulations and undertake fundamental marine lubricants research.
Claude Ouvrier-Buffet, head of the marine technical department, said: 'A test engine plays a key role in the development process, so having a proper marine engine specially adapted for research purposes gives us a big advantage.'
The new engine, based on an original MAN B'W 5L 16'24 (160 mm bore, 240 mm stroke) unit, has been redesigned in accordance with specifications developed by Lubmarine. Its five cylinders have been re-configured into three separate lubrication circuits, two for testing and one for operational requirements.
It has also been fitted with multiple sensors, an electronic control and information management system and is equipped to analyse exhaust gas, in anticipation of more stringent environmental controls on emissions of particles and oxides of sulphur and nitrogen.
The Innovator-4C will be used for validating both two-stroke and four-stroke engine oil formulations before proceeding to in-service trials, and for fundamental research including experiments with new ...
