Lubricating Oils for Jet Engines
Abstract
The report describes briefly the construction and principles of operation of aviation gas turbine engines, their assemblies and friction points, and also the oil systems. Operating conditions of lubricants in these engines are discussed, as are the functions of oils as lubricating materials, the functions of operating liquids and cooling agents; technical specifications required of lubricants are discussed. Questions are discussed related to the assortment and quality of oils currently employed for aviation gas turbine engines and the requirements for oils of the near future. Methods are described for obtaining from petroleum and synthetics high-quality oils which possess high anti-oxidation, viscosity-temperature, anti-wear and other properties. Information is presented concerning additives which improve the operational properties of oils for aviation gas turbine engines. Domestic and foreign methods of investigating and testing oils under laboratory conditions, and also in special stands and devices are systematized and described.
