LARGE GAS ENGINES AND COMPRESSORS The gas engine and gas compressor industry is large with big equipment. A complete list of all makes would be impractical to provide here; however, the numerous models of two and four-cycle engines will have their service life extended up to two times or more when using the Adams L.E.C. products. Some of the manufacturers of these are: AJAX , BUDA , CATERPILLAR , CLARK , CLIMAX , COOPER-BESSEMER , CUMMINS , ENTERPRISE, FAIRBANKS MORSE , LUFKIN , INGERSOLL RAND , INTERNATIONAL-HARVESTER , NORDBERG , LE ROI , WAUKESHA , WHITE , WORTHINGTON Gas fueled reciprocating engines are used in a wide variety of applications, ranging from air conditioning homes and shopping centers to electric power generation and sewage disposal plants for municipalities. Many different types of engines varying from one HP portable, single cylinder, two or four cycle to supercharged, two or four-cycle, twenty cylinders, 13,000 HP municipal power plant size, are in use. Various cylinder arrangements include vertical, horizontal, opposed, double opposed, Vee, radial or angled with pumps or compressor pistons driven from a common crankshaft. Unlike automotive lubricants in intermittent service, gas engine oils are almost always subjected to continuous operation at close to maximum designed speed and load. They operate at high temperatures, and are often unattended in remote locations. Gas engine oils must be able to lubricate small size, high horsepower, high speed engines where crankcase capacities are limited and oil temperatures are high. The same oils must also lubricate the larger two and four-cycle naturally aspirated and supercharged engines. Low carbon residue oils, which resist high temperature oxidation and nitration for extended periods, are necessary. Oxidation and nitration are common oil degradation reactions in gas engine service. Oxidation is characterized by the formation of acidic compounds from exposure of the lubricant to oxygen in the air and high temperatures. These compounds can attack and dissolve corrodible metals; they also tend to polymerize, resulting in thickening of the oil. Polymerization may lead to formation of insoluble resins which deposit on engine parts as lacquer or varnish. Nitration or nitro-oxidation is a particular kind of oxidation which is accelerated by nitrogen oxides (formed in the combustion chamber) reacting with the oil. It is distinguished from ordinary oxidation by the presence of organic nitrates in the oil. Four-cycle, naturally aspirated gas engines are most susceptible to nitration. GAS ENGINE OIL PERFORMANCE BENEFITS 1. Reduce friction and prevent wear in the following areas: rings, cylinders, valve and valve seats, valve train, crankshaft, camshaft, and bearings. 2. Provide general engine cleanliness as follows: Prevent piston ring sticking; prevent sludge and deposit formation in oil circulating system; minimize deposits in combustion chamber, on spark plugs, turbocharger wheels, intake and exhaust ports (two-cycle engines) and valves and valve ports (four-cycle engines). 3. Prevent corrosive wear. 4. Prevent rust. 5. Provide long-term crankcase oil life by minimizing the viscosity increase in service, resisting oxidation and nitration. Oils meeting the above requirements provide long periods of operating time between overhauls and minimize down time. Thus, maintenance and down time costs are kept at an absolute minimum. The L.E.C. products will help meet all these requirements. Here is a note about gas products. Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is used in many transport truck and city bus lines, taxi fleets, fork-lift trucks, and natural gas engine installations such as those along gas transmission lines. LPG is composed of propane, propylene, butane, butylene and isobutene, or mixtures thereof in various ratios. These hydrocarbons are gases under normal atmospheric conditions, but can be liquefied under moderate pressure at normal temperatures. Liquefied petroleum gases, derived from natural gas, are normally saturated hydrocarbons, while LPG, derived from oil refinery gases, may contain small percentages of unsaturated hydrocarbons. Since LPG sources and methods of production vary widely, there are many combinations of constituents which are acceptable as fuels, but which vary considerably in composition. Mixtures of propane and butane in various proportions are sold under various trade names for specific uses. Propane, also known as liquefied petroleum gas has a high energy density and is a mixture of about 90% propane and other gases. Butane is a gaseous component of natural gas, much like gasoline is a component of crude oil but petroleum products are refined. Let us now discuss how to approach these customers in selling and recommending the use of the L.E.C. Fuel Conditioner and L.E.C. with Moly for the gas transmission plant equipment. The engines and compressors typically run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, producing millions of revenue dollars per day. Any unscheduled downtime is devastating to their bottom line. Our products will help prevent these shutdowns and the other benefits are an added bonus. These companies will pay anything to keep their equipment in service! To begin with, these large gas compressors must first be cleaned using the L.E.C. Conditioner (L.E.C. Fuel Conditioner). The cleaning and the correct L.E.C. product recommendations after cleaning are critical. The customer needs to understand the process and that it could take months to remove the deposits. This requires test monitoring of the crankcase oil (which they do anyway) during the clean-up time. In addition, the oil lab test reports will confirm when the cleaning is completed. It is at this time that either the L.E.C. Fuel Conditioner or the L.E.C. with Moly will be added to the crankcase oil depending on whether the oil goes to the top cylinders or stays in the oil. If it goes to the cylinders, then L.E.C. Fuel Conditioner is added thereafter to the crankcase oil, and if the oil stays in the crankcase, then the L.E.C. with Moly is used. In either case, the correct L.E.C. product % ratio is added monthly. Here is a quick review : For large compressors, you have to ask the question, “Does the crankcase oil go to the top cylinders for lubrication?” If yes, then never mention the L.E.C. with Moly because only the L.E.C. Fuel Concentrate is used in this case. If no, then use the L.E.C. with Moly in the crankcase oil that stays in the crankcase. Here is where it gets tricky regarding the first step of cleaning the compressors. In both cases where the crankcase oil goes to the top cylinders or not, the cleaning has to be first done using the L.E.C. Fuel Conditioner in the crankcase oil. L.E.C. not only cleans but lubricates at the same time. The L.E.C. concentrate will clean the engines, removing the wax, gum, carbon, and sludge off the cylinder walls in microscopic particles, so it will not clog or stop up any oil lines, passageways or filters moving all of these residues to the crankcase oil. This is where the oil analyses will come into play as they will indicate very high iron, other metals, and everything else in the test reports. These high levels will continue with every test until the engine is clean inside. The reason the L.E.C. concentrate is used to clean the inside is to save the customer money. There is no reason to add L.E.C. with Moly in the oil if it cannot get to the metal surface to start plating out. This cleaning process can take months since these compressors are extremely dirty. In some cases, the hard carbon deposits that are already formed are sometimes very difficult or impossible to remove. In such cases, an overhaul is the only solution. The following is the recommended cleaning process and oil treatment afterward: For cleanup, add 4% L.E.C. Fuel Conditioner once every month to the normal crankcase oil capacity if the engine is running 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If it is not running all the time, then find out how many hours a day and call Tom Adams who will advise the proper procedure and correct amounts to use verified by the manufacturer ; otherwise, just leave it alone. You do not want to get the oil too thin by adding too much too often. After the engine is clean, add the L.E.C. with Moly at 4% once every 30 days thereafter if the engine is running 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and if the crankcase oil does not go up to the cylinders. If the oil goes up top, then use the L.E.C. Fuel Conditioner and add at 4% once every 30 days for continuous operation or at 2% every 30 days if intermittent. Call us either way for recommendations if not continuous with the operating details. Do not add any more L.E.C. Fuel Conditioner after the first addition at 4% if not running continuous until we determine the correct procedure needed. As you can gather, this type of equipment and customer requires a different approach. This compressor thing is a whole new ball game but can be well worth the effort. It sometimes takes up to a year to sell these accounts and especially if a major oil company owns all or part of the plant and is supplying their products. The manufacturer has sold many oil companies and gas transmission plants with remarkable results. The time and effort in securing a plant is worthwhile since the profit is high, the volume is constant, and when the plant is sold on the products, then the others quickly follow. The improved performance, extension of equipment life with less downtime, plus oil test reports’ confirmation of our product claims will convince the customer. Once the products are used and proven, then they will sell themselves. Our hardest part of the sale is in the initial selling job. The Adams L.E.C. Fuel Conditioner label says to contact the distributor for directions of use. These directions follow for butane and propane (L.P.G.) use: These fuels burn more completely and very dry in the combustion chamber areas and leave very little if any lubrication residue for the upper cylinder chamber area parts; therefore, use 3 gallons of L.E.C. to each 1000 gallons of L.P.G. fuel in bulk storage, smaller amounts proportionately. This amounts to about 4 ounces to each 10 gallons of fuel. ...read more
