Flushing Fluid for Cleaning the Engine Oil System
Nora Mamulaishvili and Janelidze Otar
Abstract
The article discusses the causes of deposits in pipelines of the engine oil system, the factors affecting the conditions of their formation. The qualitative and quantitative composition of the sediment formed in the pipe of an automobile engine is given. A reagent method for its elimination is proposed, which ensures the removal of sediments from the pipeline using special flushing liquids. The offered liquid is prepared on the basis of low-viscosity used motor oil with the addition of surfactants. The dependence of the interfacial tension on the concentration of the investigated reagent is shown. The similarity and efficiency of washing the test liquid with other washing liquids is revealed. It is recommended to operate the liquid according to the established instructions. As a result, the test fluid reduces the viscosity of deposits, their surface tension and leads to an increase in fluidity of the fluid in the pipeline of the engine oil system.
