Trouble description: MAC lube oil turns opaque and milky within days of renewal.
Main air compressor # 2 lube oil color changed so we renewed the oil but within days the new oil also became milky in appearance.
Important points:
- No maintenance work was carried out prior to when we started noticing this issue.
- We didn't test the oil for water but the oil remains milky state even after a long time.
- LO pressure of 2.5 bar has not changed but we get Low LO pressure while starting sometimes.
- There is no attached Cooling water pump in this compressor (direct from LT system)
Measures taken:
1. Unloader drain interval reduced to 10 mins
2. 1st and 2nd stage drain pipe to unloader checked , passage is clear.
3. Cylinder head gasket is renewed
