Shell LubeMonitor

Shell LubeMonitor is a cylinder condition monitoring programme for two-stroke marine engines. It includes access to Shell tools and advice to help you strike and maintain an acceptable balance between cylinder oil costs and wear-related cylinder maintenance expenses.

Marine Connect software

The Shell LubeMonitor service uses sophisticated software to enable full data integration. This ensures that all data points can be collected from engine system and oil analysis sources, and that they can be easily and securely transferred between customers’ vessels and Shell. Engineering experts can then quickly build a complete overview of data to provide you with the latest updates on your engine’s running condition. They will also provide expert feedback and recommendations in their report.

Programmes:

Shell LubeMonitor

This programme includes:

• Sweep tests, which equipment manufacturers require for finding the optimal feed rate when changing, for example, fuel (different sulphur level) or load. This test is especially advisable for engines suffering from cold corrosion problems.
• Feed rate optimisation, which helps to save you money on cylinder oil by finding the lowest possible feed rate and optimum wear rate combination for an engine cylinder monitoring, which helps you to understand the condition of an engine and is particularly useful for engines suffering from cold corrosion. Equipment manufacturers are advising customers to take part in
• Cylinder monitoring when they are operating a latestdesign engine. The programme can also help you to understand the root causes of high wear issues.
