A timed lube oil injection system was developed for a field engine to improve power cylinder lubrication. The injection system used advanced prototype electronic injectors. The system was installed on a Cooper GMVA-10 located in West Virginia. A…
This project is driven by concerns over excessive cylinder lubrication in large bore two-stroke cycle natural gas engines. Excessive cylinder lubrication can lead to: (1) Increased operating costs due to high lubricating oil consumption, (2)…
A retrofit lube oil injection system is designed with the capability of injecting oil through two lube ports on each cylinder at any time during the engine cycle. The system is installed and tested on a Cooper-Bessemer GMV4 engine. Variations in…
