Abstract

The article presents typical lubricants used in aviation and examples of operational problems resulting from, among other things, the introduction of lubricant replacements for old aviation technology or new additives to improve the lubricity of common aviation fuel. A selected aviation fuel additive (DCI-4A) was then analyzed and its effect on a selected engine was studied. FTIR spectrum analysis was also carried on the presence of water using the TN-699 oil as an example. In conclusion, conclusions and recommendation are presented – the implementation of new lubricants and additives requires, in each case, a series of laboratory and bench tests and monitoring of tribological processes in the operation of machinery and equipment.
