What are the components of an engine lubrication system?
1 Answers
The components of an engine lubrication system are: oil pump, pressure regulator valve, oil pickup tube, oil filter, oil cooler, oil pressure sensor, nozzle, oil passage, and crankcase ventilation filter. The functions of an engine lubrication system are: 1. Lubricating the surfaces of moving parts to reduce wear and engine power consumption; 2. Cleaning friction surfaces, removing metal particles and foreign matter; 3. Cooling the heat generated by friction; 4. Improving the sealing between moving parts to prevent gas or oil leaks; 5. Protecting part surfaces from corrosion and rust; 6. Serving as hydraulic fluid; 7. Forming an oil film on moving part surfaces to absorb shock and reduce vibration.
