- This paper describes research based on a series of seventeen UK, European and international patents granted to UCLan, (based on PCT/GB00/04920), describing a novel system for the lubrication of large two stroke marine engines aiming to reduce lubricant consumption and CO2 emissions. The research, funded by UCLan, developed demonstration system which for the first time, allowed mapping of the transport of lubricant within the cylinder of a crosshead engine simulator. The research has led to a follow-on project, funded by UCLan and supported by an EU Erasmus Doctoral student, to develop a similar system for engines for road transport applications.
