What is the function of the lubrication system?
1 Answers
The 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. The lubrication system 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 the collective term for a series of oil supply and discharge devices and their auxiliary components that deliver lubricants to lubrication points. Lubrication systems can be divided into five types: circulating lubrication systems, centralized lubrication systems, spray lubrication systems, oil immersion and splash lubrication systems, and total-loss lubrication systems for oil and grease.
