5、nsity of Aviation Lubricants in an Air-Oil Mist Environment using the Vapor Phase Coker RATIONALEThe Vapor Phase Coker apparatus bubbles a stream of dry air through a heated oil sump. The oil mist and vapor generated by the airflow travels through a furnace tube, where it is heated, and then travels

6、 through a stainless steel tube, where the deposition occurs. In general, vapor phase coking is a form of deposition which can be formed by a gas turbine lubricant when it is exposed to high temperatures in a non-oil wetted engine area. After engine shutdown, the airflow through the bearing vent tub

7、es and seals ceases. This mist, vapor mixture is carried in the airflow condenses in the engine and is subjected to high soak back temperatures. The neopentyl polyol ester molecules typically experience thermal and oxidative degradation which form carbonaceous deposits. Over a period of time coke bu

8、ild up can cause back pressure in bearing compartments and lead to seal malfunction. Vent lines need to be clear for the pressure balance within vented bearing compartments to be maintained, allowing proper sealing of oil within these compartments. 1. SCOPE This method is designed to evaluate the co

9、king propensity of synthetic ester-based aviation lubricants under two phase air-oil mist conditions as found in certain parts of a gas turbine engine, for instance, bearing chamber vent lines. Based on the results from round robin data in 2008-2009 from four laboratories, this method is currently i

10、ntended to provide a comparison between lubricants as a research tool; it is not currently a satisfactory pass/fail test. At this juncture a reference oil may improve reproducibility (precision between laboratories); a formal precision statement will be given when there is satisfactory data and an a

11、greed on, suitable reference oil if applicable. 2. APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS The following publications form a part of this document to the extent specified herein.

PREPARATION AND ASSEMBLY 6.1 Preparation of Three-Neck Flask 6.1.1 Rinse flask w

36、ith suitable solvent(s) to remove oily residue from the previous test. Remove any deposits by any conventional laboratory glassware cleaning method.6.1.2 Rinse the flask three times with water and then rinse well with acetone. Allow the flask to completely dry. 6.1.3 Weigh the empty flask to the nea

37、rest 0.1 of a gram; record this weight as the initial weight of the flask. 6.1.4 Weigh 900 g of the test fluid into the clean 2000 mL flask to the nearest 0.1 of a gram; record this as the oil net weight.SAE INTERNATIONAL ARP5921 Page 5 of 11 6.2 Preparation of Furnace 6.2.1 Rinse the inside walls o

38、f the heater with acetone to remove any residue. 6.2.2 Run a suitable stiff brush, which is compatible with acetone, on the inside of the heater section being careful to not damage the thermocouple. 6.2.3 Check the heater thermocouple to insure the point of thermocouple is flush with the inner wall

39、diameter of the heater.6.3 Preparation of Air Inlet Tube 6.3.1 Wash the air inlet tube with a suitable solvent to remove the oily residue from the previous test. Remove any deposits by any conventional laboratory glassware cleaning method.6.3.2 Rinse the air inlet tube well with acetone. Allow it to

40、 completely dry. 6.4 Preparation of Thermocouples 6.4.1 Rinse all the thermocouples with a suitable solvent. 6.4.2 Inspect the test tube thermocouples for buildup of carbon deposits. Remove any deposits with a suitable solvent and light sanding or steel wool. 6.5 Preparation of Stainless Steel Test

41、Tube 6.5.1 Cut the test tube length to 16.5 cm 0.08 cm (6.5 inches 1/32 inches). 6.5.2 Slightly bevel the inside edge of the ends of the tube and then remove any burrs on the ends of the tube. NOTE: For ease of tube identification, it is suggested to etch one end of the tube with the test number twi

42、ce; 180 degrees apart.NOTE: For ease of placing the six thermocouples on the test tube, the test tube can be etched in the appropriate six locations. 6.5.3 Clean the test tube(s) by use of an ultrasonic cleaner for no less than 30 minutes in a suitable solvent or caustic cleaner. If the solvent is v

43、isually “dirty” after the ultrasonic cleaning, repeat step 6.5.3. NOTE: If a caustic cleaner is used for the above ultrasonic cleaner step, remove the tube and thoroughly rinse it with water and rinse with a suitable solvent to prevent rusting. NOTE: A good practice for step 6.5.3 is to place the tu

44、bes vertically into a beaker, cover with a suitable solvent or caustic cleaner, and then place the beaker in a water filled ultrasonic cleaner. This allows “dirt” (if any) from the inside of the tubes to fall to the bottom of the beaker.6.5.4 Clean the test tube(s) by use of an ultrasonic cleaner fo

45、r no less than 30 minutes with the tube(s) submerged in acetone. Remove the tubes from the solvent using gloves or forceps. 6.5.5 Place the clean tubes in an oven set at 100 C for 30 minutes. 6.5.6 Store the test tubes in an air tight storage cabinet containing desiccant until the tube is needed for

46、 the buildup of the test. 6.5.7 Weigh the tube to the nearest 0.1 mg at the time of test set-up; record this as the initial weight of the test tube. SAE INTERNATIONAL ARP5921 Page 6 of 11 7. PROCEDURE 7.1 Set-Up of the VPC Unit 7.1.1 Clamp the thermocouples on the test tube at the distances indicate

47、d in Table 1.

48、 thermocouple assembly to the heater assembly by inserting the tube into the opening at the top of the insulation pack above the furnace. Pass it through the insulation pack and insert the tube into the nut-ferrule at the top of the furnace section. Placing firm downward pressure on the tube to ensu

49、re that it is bottomed out in the furnace receptacle, lightly tighten the fitting nut with a wrench so the tube cannot be removed without loosening the nut. 7.1.3 Check to see there is no gap between the top of the furnace and the bottom of the test tube insulation stack. 7.1.4 Place the three-neck flask containing the test fluid in the heating mantle and zip the mantle shut. 7.1.5 Position the mantle and flask underneath
