STUDY AND EVALUATION OF THE OXIDATIVE AND DEPOSIT-FORMING PROPERTIES OF HIGH TEMPERATURE LUBRICANTS.

Abstract

A series of high temperature oils was evaluated in a high temperature thin film oxidation unit. The apparatus measures oxygen consumption and deposits formed by the oils in thin films on a rotating heated disk. The test exhibited excellent correlation with deposit formation in a jet engine. To simplify the selection of conditions for future testing requirements, the effects of several test variables were evaluated. These include test time, oil circulation rate, oxidation of the sump oil, dispersion of the sump air, and effects of metals in the sump. (Author)
