Improving the quality of purificationlocomotive engine oil

Cleaning of engine oil from contaminating particles and products of wear of parts is an integral part of reliable operation of friction parts of locomotive diesels. The presence of solid particles in the oil leads to abrasive wear of the parts, and as a result reduces their resourceability. Onboard cleaning systems used on locomotives are not able to carry out fine-dispersed cleaning of engine oil. It is proposed to use an external stationary installation of centrifugal cleaners, which will increase the efficiency of cleaning and clarification of engine oil in the planned types of repair and maintenance of locomotives.
