Concentration of saturated turbine oil vapors in ship spaces as function of temperature

Abstract

Object and purpose of research. The archival results of the study of the dependence of the concentration of saturated turbine oil vapors in the air of the ship's room on temperature in the range from 15 °С to 110 °С are presented. Subject matter and methods. The method of measuring the mass loss of an equilibrium cell containing the test sample in an air stream with a known temperature and flow rate providing saturation of the air with turbine oil vapors is used. Main results. Experimental data are theoretically justified by a dependency that provides reliable interpolation and extrapolation. Conclusion. The data obtained can be used in calculating the concentration of turbine oil in shipboard and other rooms, as well as for planning similar studies of other turbine oils and other liquids with a low saturated vapor pressure. The data can also be useful in the development of test equipment to test the effectiveness of air filters.
