About this document
Lubricants by Nitin Augustine is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document summarizes a study on the effects of lubricant warm up acceleration on fuel consumption in internal combustion engines. It finds that heating the engine lubricant before starting the engine can reduce fuel consumption during the warm up phase by 1.5-2.6% according to tests conducted on a 3L Iveco engine under different steady operating conditions. Faster lubricant warming improves mechanical efficiency, which is particularly low when the engine is cold during standard testing cycles. While cool
