Study Notes
- An increase of 10°C in lubricant operating temperature above 50°C affects lubricant life.
- Grease ServoGem EP-2 indicates general purpose grease, high-pressure application, and thickness of grease.
- Lithium base grease is multipurpose.
- Calcium grease is water resistant.
- Grease has better heat transferability compared to oil is false.
- Lubricant properties include surface tension, oiliness, and tackiness.
- Lubricant additives used to enhance properties include anti-foaming agents, viscosity index improvers, and antioxidants.
- Testing oil in service determines whether old oil needs replacement, filtration is required, and which internal parts are wearing.
- Lithium is the most common thickener/soap for greases used by heavy industry.
- Viscosity decreases with a rise in temperature.
- Viscosity index measures oil's change in viscosity with pressure.
- Viscosity Index improvers are used in lube oil in high-temperature operating conditions.
- EP additives play a crucial role under heavy loads.
- Testing oil in service determines if old oil should be discarded, if filtration is needed, and which internal parts are wearing.
Cooling System
- A radiator where water flows horizontally from an input tank on one side to another is called a cross-flow type radiator.
- A cooling fan blows air through the radiator when necessary, such as when the vehicle is stationary or moving slowly.
- Each cylinder is surrounded by water jackets to ensure effective cooling.
- Circulation in a thermo-syphon cooling system occurs through convection currents.
- The main part of a radiator is the radiator core.
- Possible causes of poor circulation include restriction in the system and a loose fan belt.
- A pressure valve will open if the coolant temperature rises and the pressure inside the radiator exceeds a predetermined level.
