TEKOMAR MECHANIC AL LUBRIC ATOR UPGR ADE Load Dependent Cylinder Lubrication. Mechanically controlled cylinder lubrication systems on B&W engines have only engine speed dependent lubrication characteristics. The Tekomar Mechanical Lubricator Upgrade converts the original system into an engine load dependent concept. The precise design allows accurate electronic control of the feed rate which results in lower consumption. • Target feed rate setting by digital input • Precise timing and injection every revolution • Low feed rates without load restriction • Installation during normal service • Shortest payback period For further information: www.tekomar.com/mlu TEKOMAR MECHANIC AL LUBRIC ATOR UPGR ADE The Tekomar Mechanical Lubricator Upgrade (MLU) replaces the weak point of the mechanical cylinder lubrication system on B&W engines: the engine speed dependency. 5.0 4.5 4.0 3.5 3.0 2.5 2.0 1.5 1.0 0.5 0.0 Typical speed depending (original) Tekomar Mechanical Lubricator Upgrade 1.3 g/kWh Specific Cyl.Lub.

INSTALLATION After a delivery time of less than 6 weeks, the installation can be done in 2 days in normal service. Commissioning is completed during port stay and a short voyage. Commissioning includes crew training with guidance to achieve the desired feed rate. Load vs. speed dependent lubrication characteristics. CONCEPT An electronically controlled actuator is engaged on the offset shaft and allows that the feed rate can be set accurately based on a load dependent lubrication characteristic, which is the standard for todays engine designs. MLU preserves the precise timing and injection at every revolution. The original lubricator including quills etc. remain untouched. Taking into account the huge savings in cylinder lubrication oil consumption the payback time of this investment is typically less than 8 months (depending on engine size and load pattern). Actuators on offset shafts. OFFERING This upgrade is available as a full package including installation, commissioning and on-board training. Tekomar Mechanical Lubricator Upgrade has DNV-GL principal approval. © Tekomar Group, 2014 www.tekomar.com
