DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe chemiluminescent method of process control was applied to the study of thermal stability of lubricating oils, and an apparatus was constructed for subjecting small samples of oils to the oxidation at elevated temperatures and recording the levels of chemiluminescence. Two different procedures were used in the study. In the first, the sample of a mineral base for the oils was heated at steps of 10 degrees in the range of 120-200 degrees, and the time of the emission at each temperature was recorded. In the second procedure the intensity of the chemiluminescence resulting from the oxidation of the oil sample is recorded at various temperatures over the same period of 10 sec. Nine additives were evaluated, and the most pronounced antioxidant effect was that of the INKhP-21 additive. (Author).
