PRESSURE LUBRICATION SYSTEM G.R.K
Pressure Lubrication System Brief Overview: This system uses a pump to deliver oil under pressure to critical engine components, ensuring smooth operation, cooling, and protection. Here’s a diagram depicting the flow of oil from the sump, through the pump, filter, galleries, and to moving parts. Construction & Components: · Oil Sump / Pan : Reservoir at the engine’s base, storing the lubricating oil. · Oil Pickup & Strainer : Screened inlet that draws oil from the sump, preventing large particles from entering. · Oil Pump : Typically gear or rotor type, driven by the crankshaft or camshaft; pressurizes and circulates oil. · Oil Filter : Removes smaller impurities before oil enters engine passages. Pressure Relief Valve : Prevents excessive oil pressure by bypassi...
