Lubrication oil circuit 11.4
General
The oil inside the combustion engine has the function
of lubricating and cooling all drive components, re-
moving impurities and neutralizing chemically effec-
tive combustion products, transferring forces and
damping vibrations.. The oil is only able to fulfil this
function, if sufficient quantities are transported to the
critical points in the engine and if its properties are
adapted to the prevailing requirements by corre-
sponding manufacturing processes and refining (addi-
tives).
Figure (1) shows pressure circulation lubrication in
combination with splash and oil mist lubrication. Here
oil is transported under pressure to all bearing loca-
tions by the oil pump (16), while sliding surfaces are
splash or oil mist lubricated. After flowing through the
bearing locations and along sliding surfaces the oil is
collected in the oil sump (1) under the drive, where the
oil is cooled, defoamed by calming and stored.
The oil filter (19) removes solid foreign particles from
the engine oil (combustion residues, metal abrasion,
dust) and thus maintains the function of the lubrication
oil during the maintenance intervals.
