Alpha Lubricator success

摘要

The milestone of 1000 retrofits for MAN Diesel's Alpha Lubricator represents record savings of lube oil and a greener environment. Originally introduced in 2000, the Alpha Lubricator has been a major success, enabling customers to save up to 20-30% of lubricating-oil costs, a significant saving for such an expensive resource. In refer-rnence to the 1000 retrofits, Peter Rytter Jensen, Head of Special Projects, MAN Diesel PrimeServ, Copenhagen, comments: 'The system has undergone continuous development in the course of its lifetime, starting in the year of its introduction with the ACC version where an algorithm controlled cylinder-oil dosage in proportion to the sulphur content ofrnthe fuel. Subsequently, in 2007, PrimeServ introduced a soft delivery version that further simplified the installation work.
