The lube oil pump in ships ensures proper lubrication of engine components to reduce friction and wear.

It circulates clean, filtered oil to bearings, pistons, and other critical parts for smooth operation.

Marine pumps, including lube oil pumps, are vital for maintaining engine efficiency and preventing mechanical failures.

Size: Typically ranges from 50 mm to 300 mm discharge diameter.

Grade: Marine-grade lube oil pumps, often compliant with ISO 13709 (API 610) standards.

Viscosity: Suitable for oils with viscosity ranging from 22 cSt to 680 cSt at 40°C.

Buoyancy: Not applicable; designed for fixed installation in engine rooms.

Material: Cast iron, bronze, or stainless steel (AISI 316) for corrosion resistance.

Flow Rate: 5 m³/h to 500 m³/h depending on engine requirements.

Pressure: Operating pressure up to 10 bar, with some high-pressure models reaching 25 bar.

Temperature Range: -20°C to 150°C for standard models.

Drive: Electric motor or engine-driven, with power ranging from 1 kW to 75 kW.

Seals: Mechanical seals or gland packing, often oil-lubricated for durability.

Mounting: Horizontal or vertical configuration, flange-mounted.

Standards: Complies with ABS, DNV, LR, or other marine classification societies.
