Abstract

Evaluation of the performance of lube oil in the generator on the effect of load utilization was studied to examine the effect on the quality. The continuous running of the generator set, and the load utilization reduces the quality of the lube oil which influences the operational performance. The quality of the lube oil used in servicing generator set experienced degradation with increase in operational hours as well as loss in quality value due to load utilization and output running hours. The concentration of the lubricating oil before utilization was examined and the concentration of the lubricating oil after load utilization per unit time covered and the results obtained were compared in terms of load utilization with lubricating oil concentration of the physicochemical parameters considered.
