Cylinder Liner and Cylinder Lubrication
Cylinder Frame
The cylinder section of the engine consists
of a cast cylinder frame, which is tightened
together with the framebox and the bedplate
by means of stay bolts, the bottom end of
which is screwed into the bedplate.
If the cylinder frame consists of more than
one part, these parts are tightened together
in the vertical joints.
A central bore for each cylinder, at the top of
the cylinder frame, encloses the cylinder
liners.
A central bore for each cylinder, at the bot-
tom of the cylinder frame, encloses the
piston rod stuffing boxes.
On the exhaust side of the cylinder frame
there are openings which connect the sca-
venge air spaces around the cylinder liners
with the longitudinal scavenge air receiver of
the engine.
Furthermore, there are inlet pipes for cooling
and lubricating oil.
The cylinder frame is provided with cleaning
and inspection covers giving access to the
scavenge air spaces.
Studs for fastening the cylinder covers are
mounted in the cylinder frame.
Cylinder Liner
The cylinder liner is tightened against the top
of the cylinder frame by the cylinder cover,
so that it can expand freely downwards when
heated during the running of the engine.
A rubber ring is located in a machined groo-
ve on the external diameter of the cylinder
liner, in order to guide the liner in the
cylinder frame.
The cylinder liner is surrounded by a cooling
jacket.
Rubber rings located in machined grooves in
the cylinder liner ensure cooling water
sealing.
The part of the cylinder liner which is located
in the scavenge air space of the cylinder
frame is provided with a number of scavenge
air ports, which are uncovered by the piston
when this is in its bottom position. The
scavenge air ports are bored at an oblique
angle to the axis of the cylinder liner so as to
give the scavenge air a rotary movement in
the cylinder.
In the free part of the cylinder liner, between
the cooling jacket and the cylinder frame,
there are a number of bores with non-return
valves for supply of lubricating oil to the
cylinder.
On the working surface of the cylinder the
bores are connected to a lubricating groove
to ensure an even distribution of the oil.
Cylinder Lubricators
Plate 90305
The cylinder frame is fitted with two cylinder
lubricators. The lubricators incorporate a
number of oil pumps, corresponding to the
number of lubricating orifices in cylinder
liners.
The lubricators are inter-connected by
means of shafts with couplings which are
rigid in the direction of rotation.
The lubricators are driven through a gear
transmission from the end of the camshaft.
For fixed pitch propeller plants (FPP), the
lubricators are speed-dependent, where the
cylinder oil dosage follows the engine speed.
For controllable pitch propeller plants (CPP),
the lubricators are mean indicated pressure
(MEP)-dependent, where the cylinder oil
dosage follows the engine load.
The lubricators are of the load-change
dependent (LCD) type.
 903.02-62

For engines fitted with a Woodward gover-

nor, the LCD lubricators are controlled by an
electronic unit, which monitors the position
of the fuel regulating shaft.

For engines fitted with an electronic gover-

nor, the LCD lubricators are controlled
directly by the governor.

The LCD lubricators can operate in two mo-

des:

M LCD mode:
The lubricators supply the pre-set
extra amount of cylinder oil during
STARTING, manoeuvring and sudden
load changes. This reduces the liner
wear rate.

M Fixed-position mode:
The lubricators supply the pre-set
extra amount of cylinder oil per revo-
lution continuously.

Regarding the cylinder lubricators proper,

reference is made to the special instruction
manuals supplied.
