Study Notes
Lubrication System
- Purpose of Lubrication System:
- Reduces friction between moving parts
- Minimizes wear and tear on components
- Absorbs and dissipates heat generated by friction
- Acts as a sealant to prevent contaminants from entering the system
- Types of Lubricants:
- Mineral Oils: most common, derived from crude oil, offering good lubrication properties and cost-effectiveness
- Synthetic Oils: superior performance in extreme temperatures and conditions, longer-lasting lubrication, and better resistance to oxidation
- Greases: semi-solid material used where conventional oils wouldn't stay in place or provide adequate lubrication
- Biodegradable Oils: environmentally friendly lubricants designed to break down more easily
- Solid Lubricants: used in situations where conventional lubricants may not be suitable or practical
- Application Methods:
- Splash Lubrication: parts are submerged in a pool of lubricant and splashed onto other parts
- Pressure Lubrication: oil is pumped under pressure to various points needing lubrication
- Manual Lubrication: lubricant is manually applied to specific parts
- Mist Lubrication: oil is sprayed as a mist into a stream of air, carrying it to the parts needing lubrication
Types of Lubrication Systems
- Mist Lubrication System:
- Simple system where a small quantity of lubricating oil is mixed with fuel
- Preferred in two-stroke engines where crank base lubrication is not required
- Disadvantages: oil combustion, corrosion of bearings, lack of control over lubricant supply, and no control over lubricant quantity
- Wet-Sump Lubrication System:
- Oil supply, storage tank, and oil cooler are combined in the crank case
- Three varieties: Splash Lubrication System, Splash and Pressure System, and Pressurized Lubrication System
- Dry-Sump Lubrication System:
