The drawings no. 805154 and/or no. 805155 in the LCD appendix in the manual must be scrutinised carefully before dismounting. At remounting it must be ensured that the shaft (pos. 6 on drawing no. 805154 and/or no. 805155) is placed in the same position as before it was dismounted. Do not try to dismount the piston (pos. 6 on drawing no. 805154 and/or no. 805155), as special tools are required to remount it again.
Please feel free to contact us for further information on maintenance of LCD regulation with priming.
LCD regulation with priming is an extension of the LCD regulation, designed with the purpose of pre-priming the engine before start.
LCD regulation with priming is an enhanced version of the LCD regulation dimensioned structurally to handle up to 10 HJ SIP valves at one time.
MEP regulation is a way to save lube oil while maintaining a safe operational condition during part load. On all engines with timed lubrication an excess of lube oil is used in part load areas. This occurs due to the fact that the engine has a rpm dependent injection and the lube oil consumption is specified as a function: g/BHPh of the engine’s load.
If you operate in part load areas, the MEP regulation may help to adjust the lube oil consumption to the actual need.
However, the LCD regulation with priming is an automatic joint quantity adjustment increasing the lube oil injection in case of changes in the manoeuvring and loads. This means that the cylinder liner is protected by adding a higher feed rate in short periods when it is needed.
Yes, MEP regulation and LCD regulation with priming can be used together with great advantage. They serve in their own way to achieve an optimum cylinder lubrication of the engine.
The LCD actuator of the lubricator functions based on signals which it receives either from a governor or a control box connected to the fuel regulation shaft. At delivery, the signal is set according to the engine designer’s guidelines.
However, some engines operate under conditions which are different from the average used as basis for the calculation of these guidelines. Therefore, there is also the opportunity that you may adjust the settings of the system yourself. We recommend that you consult the relevant material for the control which is used on your engine. In this way, you may perform an adjustment which meets your need for when an increased lubrication is needed.
