What is the valve lubrication method for single-cylinder diesel engines?
1 Answers
Single-cylinder diesel engine valve lubrication methods are as follows: 1. Splash lubrication: Utilizes oil droplets splashed by rotating components such as the crankshaft and camshaft during engine operation, or oil sprayed from oil holes on the connecting rod big end, to lubricate friction surfaces. This method primarily lubricates cylinder walls, cams, piston pins, etc.; 2. Periodic lubrication: Employs grease applied at regular intervals for lubrication. Mainly used for generators, starters, water pump bearings, etc.; 3. Pressure lubrication: Uses an oil pump to deliver pressurized lubricating oil to component friction surfaces, forming an oil film of sufficient thickness to withstand mechanical loads, ensuring reliable lubrication. Primarily meets the lubrication needs of high-speed and heavily loaded engine components.
