  • Patent number: 10975739
    Abstract: A process for production of cylinder oil comprises providing used oil, providing fresh cylinder oil, and blending the used oil with the fresh cylinder oil. The used oil has a lower TBN value than the fresh cylinder oil. A process for the operation of an internal combustion engine comprises preparing cylinder oil as described and using the cylinder oil in the internal combustion engine. An apparatus for the preparation of a cylinder oil comprises a blending means for blending used oil and fresh cylinder oil. The blending means is in flow communication with at least one compartment of an internal combustion engine that comprises used oil or at least one storage compartment comprising used oil, at least one storage compartment for fresh cylinder oil, and at least one cylinder of an internal combustion engine. Used oil and fresh cylinder oil are used for the preparation of cylinder oil.

  • Patent number: 10316735
    Abstract: In order to provide a method for indicating a risk of corrosion or scuffing of components of a combustion chamber of a turbo charged engine arrangement, in particular for vessels, the turbo charged engine arrangement includes a turbocharger and a charge gas cooler. A first gas stream of an ambient gas enters into the turbocharger, a second gas stream of charge gas flows from the turbocharger to the charge gas cooler, and the second gas stream of charge gas enters into the charge gas cooler. A third gas stream of charge gas flows from the charge gas cooler to the combustion chamber, and the third gas stream of the charge gas enters into the combustion chamber.
