CHALLENGE
Water in oil leads to change in viscosity, reduced lubricity, formation of rust and bacterial growth and increased degradation of the oil - all factors that lead to reduced lifetime of both system components and the oil.
The Classification Society, DNV-GL, in their Technical e-Newsletter of June 12th 2013 has stated that, for their Clean Design Class Notification:
“If a biodegradable oil is used, an arrangement shall be in place to keep the water content of the oil under control”.
