What are the main functions of the lubrication system?
1 Answers
The main function of the lubrication system is to continuously deliver an adequate amount of clean oil at an appropriate temperature to the friction surfaces of all transmission components during engine operation, forming an oil film with lubricating properties. This not only effectively reduces friction between parts but also minimizes power loss, ensuring the engine's service life while maintaining optimal working conditions. The lubrication system refers to a series of oil supply, discharge, and auxiliary devices that deliver lubricants to lubrication points. It can be categorized into five types: circulating lubrication system, centralized lubrication system, spray lubrication system, immersion and splash lubrication system, and total loss lubrication system for oil and grease.
