 LUBRICATING OIL SYSTEM
Lubricating oil sump
The oil sump (01) of the engine is wet
type, i.e. a separate system oil tank is not
needed.
d d
The main function of the wet sump is to
collect lubricating oil after circulation
through the engine.
Suction pipes to the lubricating oil pump
and if used, for the separator, as well as
for the main lubricating oil distributing
pipe for crankshaft bearings, are
incorporated in the oil sump.

Lubricating oil flow in piston
Part of the lubricating oil through
connecting rod (01) flows out from piston

cylinder liner, forming an oil film between
piston and cylinder liner surfaces.
From the cylinder liner oil flows back to oil
sump.
The rest of the oil is used to cool the piston
top with nozzles and “shaker” effect.

bottom of the filter cartridges (01), and a
partial flow of approx. 50 % is conveyed
via the middle connecting pipe (02) to the
top of the filter cartridges (01).
This means that the medium flows
through the filter cartridges (01) at both
ends, from inside to outside, and the
larger particles of dirt are thus kept back
inside the filter cartridges (01)
(01).
The filtered medium is now conveyed via
the safety filter (05) to the filter outlet.

Counter-current back-flushing:

 LUBRICATING OIL SYSTEM
Lubricating oil cooler
Lubricating oil and cooling water flow in lubricating oil cooler
Cooling position (OPEN position)
„ Lubricating oil flows through the
channels in the end flange of cooler
up to the cooler tube sheet.
„ The oil flows through the cooler shell
and the large surface of the plate fins,
whereas the cooling water flows
through the smaller surface of the
tube stack. Through the opened
thermostatic valve oil flows up to an
automatic filter and into the oil
delivery.

By-pass position (CLOSED position)

„ Oil flows through the closed
thermostatic valve up to automatic
filter and into the oil delivery.
