Field test results

The Lubetimizer was tested and further developed for 1 year onboard of the mv Andesborg from the Dutch shipping company Wagenborg Shipping B.V. resulting in significant savings.

The Andesborg is equipped with a Wärtsilä 6L46F engine of 7500 kW running on heavy fuel and a TBN 40 lubricant, sailing between North Western Europe and the West Coast of South America. Introduction of the Lubetimizer resulted in a lubricant saving of up to 38 % compared to the previous partial replacements by the vessels crew. These huge savings are the result of the balanced partial replacements corresponding the varying Sulphur and engine load %.

The graphs above shows clearly the effect of the Lubetimizer on the lubricant consumption effected by the varying fuel Sulphur and engine load %, resulting in the lowest lubricant consumption whilst assuring the lubricant quality.
