  2. Oil sludge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_sludge

    Oil sludge or black sludge is a gel-like or semi-solid deposit inside an internal combustion engine, that can create a catastrophic buildup. It is often the result of contaminated engine oil and occurs when moisture and/or high heat is introduced to engine oil.

  3. Oil cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_cooling

    Oil cooling is the use of engine oil as a coolant, typically to remove surplus heat from an internal combustion engine. The hot engine transfers heat to the oil which then usually passes through a heat-exchanger, typically a type of radiator known as an oil cooler. The cooled oil flows back into the hot object to cool it continuously.

  4. Boiler explosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiler_explosion

    The sudden dispersion and projection of the water in the boiler against the bounding surfaces of the boiler is the great cause of the violence of the results: the dispersion, being caused by the momentary generation of steam throughout the mass of the water, and in its efforts to escape, it carries the water before it, and the combined momentum ...

  5. Oil discharge monitoring equipment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_discharge_monitoring...

    A sample point on the discharge line allows for the analyzer to determine the oil content of the ballast now and slop water in PPM. [2] The analyzer is self-maintaining by periodical cleansings with fresh water, and therefore requires a minimum of active maintenance from the crew. [2]

  6. Hydrolock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrolock

    Bent connecting rod after hydrolock Same connecting rod, turned 90°. Hydrolock (a shorthand notation for hydrostatic lock or hydraulic lock) is an abnormal condition of any device which is designed to compress a gas by mechanically restraining it; most commonly the reciprocating internal combustion engine, the case this article refers to unless otherwise noted.

  7. Dissolved gas analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissolved_gas_analysis

    An oil sample tube is used to draw, retain and transport the sample of transformer oil in the same condition as it is inside a transformer with all fault gases dissolved in it. It is a gas tight borosilicate glass tube of capacity 150 ml or 250 ml, having two airtight Teflon valves on both the ends.

  8. Total-loss oiling system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total-loss_oiling_system

    Later systems collect oil in a sump, from where it can be collected and pumped around the engine again, usually after rudimentary filtering. This system has long been the norm for larger internal combustion engines. A pumped oil system can use higher oil pressures and so makes the use of hydrostatic bearings easier. These gave a greater load ...

  9. Oil analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_analysis

    Oil sampling is a procedure for collecting a volume of fluid from lubricated or hydraulic machinery for the purpose of oil analysis. Much like collecting forensic evidence at a crime scene, when collecting an oil sample, it is important to ensure that procedures are used to minimize disturbance of the sample during and after the sampling process.
