Cylinder Oil Feed Rate - WinGD LCD

WinGD Load-Change-Dependent feed-rate at given load and BN. Encourages under-feeding at part-load to cut lube consumption.

Formula, assumptions, and limits

$$\dot m_\text{cyl} = \max\!\left(\dot m_\text{min}, \; 0.20 \cdot S \cdot \tfrac{70}{BN}\right)$$

WinGD LCD service-letter values (factor 0.20 vs MAN's 0.26 reflects different engine design reserve). Min rate differs at part-load (< 40 % MCR) vs above to protect against cold running / corrosive wear.
