DOI: A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW ON BLENDING ON BOARD AND OIL ANALYZER SYSTEM WITH INNOVATIVE ENGINE LUBRICATION MANAGEMENT
Mahesh Karman , Associate Professor, School of Maritime Studies, Vels Institute of Science, Technology & Advanced Studies (Vistas), Chennai, IndiaAbstract
This comprehensive review examines the blending on board (BOB) technique and the oil analyzer system in the context of innovative engine lubrication management. BOB refers to the practice of blending lubricating oil additives directly on board a vessel, allowing for real-time customization of the lubricant's properties. The oil analyzer system, on the other hand, utilizes advanced analytical tools to monitor the condition and performance of lubricating oil in engines. This review explores the principles, advantages, and challenges associated with BOB and the oil analyzer system, and their collective impact on engine lubrication management. It discusses the potential benefits of BOB, such as enhanced operational efficiency, reduced maintenance costs, and improved environmental sustainability. The oil analyzer system's ability to detect and diagnose engine issues and optimize lubrication strategies is also highlighted. The review further discusses the integration of BOB and the oil analyzer system, their compatibility with different engine types, and the future prospects for their widespread adoption in the maritime industry.
