What is the function of the engine lubrication system?
1 Answers
The functions of the engine lubrication system are: 1. Lubrication: Engine oil forms an oil film between moving parts, reducing friction resistance and power loss, and minimizing component wear. 2. Cooling: The fluidity of the engine oil helps dissipate heat from engine components, preventing overheating and potential damage. The basic components of the engine lubrication system include the oil pump, oil filter, oil cooler, and oil strainer. The system also comprises an oil pressure gauge, temperature gauge, and oil pipelines. An engine is a machine that converts other forms of energy into mechanical energy. It can refer to either the power-generating device or the entire machine including the power unit. Types of engines include internal combustion engines, external combustion engines, gas turbines, and electric motors.
