Abstract
Low-grade fuels with unusual distribution of distillation temperature and a high rate of aromatic hydrocarbons are currently being supplied at certain ports. Sometimes these fuels cause damage i.e. abnormally heavy wear of cylinder liners to marine diesel engines. In this study, a sample of such a fuel is obtained and its properties and composition are in detail analyzed. Combustion characteristics are examined using various testing devices including visual engine and visual combustion chamber. These are new facilities for study of bunker fuel oil. According to results of such examinations, a cause of the heavy wear of the cylinder liners can be guessed with good confidence.
