Engine lubricating system

1. Purpose, technical data, general arrangement and arrangement of the devices and instruments of the
engine lubricating system.
2. The engine lubricating system is of circulation combination type.
It is designed for store and carried-on stock of oil, and to supply it at a certain pressure to friction parts in
order to reduce their wear and to transfer heat from them.

Technical data:
Type: circulation combination type with the “dry crankcase”. Lubrication conducting with pressure and
splashing.
- Using oil type М16 IХП-3
- Capacity : - main tank – 27 L,
- additional tank – 38 L,
- outer tank – 45 L.
The minimum permissible amount of oil –20 L.
Oil pressure – 5 - 10 kg/сm2
Oil temperature:
- recommended: – 70 - 1000С;
- allowable: – 65 - 1150С;
- while the air t0 >350C - 1200C

The system consists of:

- main oil tank,
- replenishing tank,
- external oil tank,
- radiators,
- gear type oil pump,
- oil filter,
- oil-priming pump,
- oil gage transmitter,
- thermometer detector,
- pipelines.
The oil tanks serve to store and to transport oil required for the operation of the engine. Tankers can be
filled through the access hole of the replenishing tank. Oil system drying provided by the drain valve of
the main tanker. The tankers communicated with the atmosphere trough crankcase ventilation system.
The main oil tanker is provided by the coiled pipe which is connected to the preheated system by means
of branch pipes in order to heat the oil before starting the engine, oil filter, oil outlet pipe of М3Н-2 and
engine oil pump, union for discharge line, heated water inlet manifold, flange for the oil drying from
radiator, hot water discharge manifold, flange for oil feed from replenishing tank. On the outer surface of
the tanker is mounted overflow valve for oil pumping out from engine into main oil tanker avoiding
radiators. The overflow valve is adjusted on the pressure 4,35кgp/сm2.

Replenishing oil tank

It has 2 flanges in order to connect discharge pipe from main tanker to replenishing tanker and discharge
pipe from replenishing tanker to the engine. On the top of the tanker mounted filler hole, covered by the
stopper with rubber gasket. From the replenishing tanker oil flows in to the main tanker by the pipe. For
oil overflow prevention from main tanker in to replenishing tanker during the tank moving uphill in the
lower part of the replenishing tank valve is mounted.
External oil tanker, 42 L capacity, worming from exhaust manifold.
It has filling hole covered by stopper with rubber gasket and flange connected to the oil dry valve.
Engine oil pump.
Engine oil pump is a gear type.
It has three pairs of the gears, which is form one delivery section and two suction sections.
Delivery section push the oil from the tanker trough the МАФ filter and pipe to the engine. It has
reduction valve dedicated for creating certain pressure in crankshaft admission hole ( 5-10 kgp\сm2 ).
Oil filter МАФ – rimose type.
Dedicated for oil cleaning which is flow for the lubrication of the engine devices and instruments.
The filter consists of: body, top, three filtering sections, and sleeve for the cleaned oil outcoming,
reduction and cutout valves. The filter has two unions. One for the pipeline from delivery section, second
for discharge oil pipe from filter to the top cover of main engine oil feeding. While the pressure is 4,7 –
5,8 kgh\сm2 , the overflow valve is opening and oil starts moving from pump to the crankshaft.
Oil filter МЦ - І
Oil filter МЦ - І dedicated for additional fine oil cleaning from mechanical admixture and oleoresins.
Technical data:
- carrying capacity– 12 L/min.
- runner turning speed 5000-7000 turns/min.
Consist of:
- body,
- top cover,
- runner,
- spindle,
- drain tube.
Work procedure.
Oil with the pressure 6 кg/cm2 comes in to the lower part of the runner body. Centrifugal force throw off
the dirt on the inner walls of the runner. Cleaned oil through the pipe moves in to the crankshaft.
Oil coolers
Tank mounts two oil coolers. The oil coolers are connected in series and serve to cool the oil coming out
of the engine. The oil coolers are located in the rack over the water radiators on the right side as viewed in
the direction of the tank movement.
The oil cooler is of tube and fin type, three ways.
It consists of:
- two rows of planar tubes,
- two end plates,
- two collectors.
The front collectors have flanges.

Oil priming pump МЗН-2.

The МЗН-2 priming oil pump is designed for deliver oil to the central oil supply cover of the engine
lubricating system before starting the engine. The pump is driven by electric motor МН-1-2с. The pump
is gear-driven type with the overload valve. The pump body has double walls. The inner wall spaces is
filled with fluid from the engine preheating system through branch pipe.
The liquid worms the oil inside the pump. Overload valve adjusted for an opening pressure of 14 kgp/сm2
.

Measuring instruments.
To check the operation of the lubrication system, the tank is equipped with remote-indicating electric
pressure gauge ТЕМ-15 and electric temperature gage ТУЕ48Т.
The detector of the pressure gage is located on the gear case of the left gear-box and connected to central
oil supply cover trough a flexible hose and a specific pipe provided with swivel elbow.
The detector of the temperature gage is installed in scavenge line of the oil pump.
Both of the indicators are located on the driver’s control panel inside the driver’s compartment.
2. Operation of the lubricating system.
With the engine running, the delivery section of oil pump takes oil from main oil tank through filter and
delivers it under pressure trough the МАФ oil filter through the central oil supply cover, from where oil
comes to the friction parts of the engine.
Oil drippings from the crankshaft to the bearing journals and bearing inserts and to the bottom end of the
auxiliary connecting rod.
A part of oil flows to the vertical upper shaft, fuel injection pump and air distributor drive shaft,
tachometer generator drive shaft and to the inclined shafts of the valve timing mechanism through the
orifices made in the crankcase and pipelines.
Oil gravity in to the crankcase, lubricate the gears and the supercharger.
Oil collected in the rear and front oil sumps of the crankcase half is sucked by the oil pump section and is
delivered to main oil tank through the pipeline and oil coolers.
A portion of oil (20-30 %) is delivered under the pressure from the pump section to centrifugal oil
cleaner where it is cleaned of mechanical impurities and returns back in to the lower half of the engine
crankcase.
When oil priming pump is cut in (prior to starting the engine), oil is sucked by the oil priming pump
from the oil tank and delivered directly to the central oil supply cover past МАФ.
As oil is being consumed by the engine from the main oil tank oil flows from replenishing tank to main
oil tank through the oil pipeline.
To prevent overflow of oil from the main tank to the replenishing tank (when moving upgrade) the
replenishing tank is provided whit non-return valve.
The engine lubricating system is of an open type. The system communicates with the atmosphere
through vent pipeline, the return pipe running from the centrifugal oil filter and trough the crankcase of
the engine. The crankcase communicates with the atmosphere through the crankcase ventilation system.
