LubricationSystem Description

The CLU-4 Pulse Jet Cylinder Lubrication System is based on a


lubrication module with integrated electronics and newly developed
lubricators.
During operation, oil flows from the daily service tank to the lubricating oil
filter and then to the dosage pump in the pulse lubrication module. Each of
the cylinders is equipped with one pulse lubricating module and eight
lubricators.
The position of the working piston is continuously monitored by the crank
angle sensor that is connected to the control system. At defined positions
of the working piston, the dosage pump sends the oil to the lubricators
where it is discharged.
The dosage pump in the pulse lubrication module is driven by the servo
oil. This is a separate oil line that runs in a closed circuit. The servo oil is
taken from the servo oil common rail through a pressure reducing valve.

LubricationSystem Description

Cylinder oil distribution is different between Pulse jet and


Pulse Feed as bellows.
1) Pulse Jet
The lubricators deliver the lubricating oil as pulse jet feeding into the liner
wall. From there, the lubricating oil is distributed around the circumference
of the cylinder liner. The vertical oil distribution is determined by the
injection timing. It is adjusted by means of the control system.
2) Pulse Feed
The lubricators deliver the lubricating oil as compact pulse feed exactly
into the piston ring package 80% and the piston skirt 20%. From there, the
lubricating oil is distributed around the circumference of the cylinder liner.
The feed rate is adjusted by skipping more or less un-lubricated strokes.
The injection is initiated on up-strokes only.

Timing

- Pulse Jet

The vertical distribution is governed by the injection timing as a function of the


crank angle.
The cylinder lubricating oil can be injected into the cylinder above, into or below the
piston.
The timing is weighted in order to optimise the distribution characteristics.
