Lube Oil Care Marine Diesel Engines (4-stroke) | Supply Vessel
Customer Case
Marine Diesel Engines
Vessel: Supply Vessel
Engines: BERGEN, 2,500 kW/750 rpm (2 pieces), 4-stroke diesel engines
Lube Oil: SHELL GADINIA AL 40
Test: Centrifuge vs CJC® Lube Oil Filter
Test period: > 10,000 running hours
Test start: at 144,992 running hours
Test end: at 155,123 running hours
Conventional lubrication oil treatment:
One centrifuge (lube oil separator) for each engine.
Pump flow: 550−810 L per hour
Newly installed CJC® Lube Oil Filter:
During the test period, a CJC® Lube Oil Filter 27/108 for continuous fine filtration and drying (24/7/365) was installed at one of the engines (ME 2). The automatic temperature controlled flow ensures optimum operation and the highest filtration efficiency.
Pump flow: 1,150 L per hour (0.3 L/kW) nominal
Savings benefits
Approx. 97.5% lower energy consumption
≅ 229,774 kW/year and centrifuge
- ME 1 with centrifuge, energy consumption ≅ 235,468 kW (26.88 kW for operation + preheater)
- ME 2 with CJC® Lube Oil Filter, energy consumption ≅ 5,694 kW (0.65 kW for operation)
Approx. 97.8% less CO2 emissions
≅ 159,649 kg per year and centrifuge saved
Combustion of fuel and thermal disposal of waste oil/sludge cause approx. 2.6 kg CO2 per litre.
Lower energy consumption:
- ME 1 with centrifuge ≅ 143,246 kg CO2
- ME 2 with CJC® Lube Oil Filter ≅ 3,463 kg CO2 *)
*) Based on consumption of approx. 187 g fuel per kWh.
Lower amount of sludge to be disposed of:
- ME 1 with centrifuge ≅ 19,929 kg CO2
- ME 2 with CJC® Lube Oil Filter ≅ 62.4 kg CO2
Approx. 99.7 % less oil sludge
≅ 7,641 Litres per year and centrifuge
- ME 1 with centrifuge, discharge of sludge ≅ 7,650 Litres
- ME 2 with CJC® Lube Oil Filter, filter insert replacement ≅ 24 Litres
Approx. 60 % less lube oil consumption
≅ 8,940 Litres per year and centrifuge
- ME 1 with centrifuge, discharge and diesel engine ≅ 14,900 Litres
- ME 2 with CJC® Lube Oil Filter, filter insert replacement and diesel engine ≅ 5.960 Litres
Approx. 60 % less working hours
≅ 8 hours per year and centrifuge
- ME 1 with centrifuge, Ø time for maintenance ≈ 20 hours
- ME 2 with CJC® Lube Oil Filter, Ø time for maintenance ≈ 12 hours
Approx. 86.25 % less operating costs
≅ 30,199 EUR per year and centrifuge
