Abstract

DEUS AGUILERA, Carlos et al. Diagnosis of the status of Lubrication Management in Fuel Oil Generator Sets. Energética [online]. 2022, vol.43, n.2, pp. 1-9.  Epub July 11, 2022. ISSN 1815-5901.

The objective of the article is the diagnosis of lubrication and lubricants management for fuel oil power plants at the West of Havana. It was based on the tool of the Center for Maintenance Engineering Studies to assess the status of such management, and was modified by consensus of experts. The tool made it possible to identify deficiencies in lubrication management and to develop strategies that contribute to increase the physical assets availability, as well as reducing the consumption of energy, lubricants and spare parts. This allows to obtain significant savings in the organization and reducing the negative impact on the environment. A group of deficiencies were identified, among which stand out for their negative impact, the lack of training in lubrication management issues, and inadequate storage of new oils and used oil management.

Keywords : Lubrication; maintenance management; availability of physical assets.
