Why Do Supercars Use Dry Sump Lubrication Systems?
1 Answers
Dry sump lubrication systems ensure engine lubrication without causing damage to the engine. The relevant details are as follows: 1. Origin of dry sump systems: Equipped with two oil pumps, one is responsible for pumping oil from the oil pan to the oil storage tank, while the other pumps oil from the storage tank into the engine for lubrication, hence the name dry sump system. 2. Advantages of dry sump lubrication: The lower oil pan is relatively small, allowing the engine block to be positioned lower, which helps lower the engine's center of gravity. This design is more in line with vehicle aerodynamics and enhances driving stability.
