Lubrication System, Description: Service Information

The document provides information on the lubrication system of an engine: 1. The engine uses a gear pump driven by the crankshaft to force-feed lubricating oil through longitudinal channels in the cylinder block. 2. Oil passes through filters and a cooler before reaching camshaft, rocker arm, and piston bearings. 3. Control valves regulate oil flow and pressure and direct oil through the cooler or directly to filters depending on temperature.

Lubrication system, description

Figure 1

General
The engine is force-feed lubricated with a gear pump driven by the engine's crankshaft. The pump is located in the oil sump at
the engine's trailing edge. Two longitudinal channels for oil are drilled in the cylinder block — the main lubrication channel and
piston cooling channel. The main lubrication channel opens into a cast channel for lubrication oil to the engine's timing gear. A
drilled channel through the cylinder block and cylinder head lead lubrication oil up through the compression brake's control
valve. The oil continues and passes through the rocker arm shaft to oil channels and lubricates the camshaft bearings and the
rocker arm bearings.
The oil valve housing is located on the engine's right side. The engine has two full-flow filters and one bypass filter which are
located in a separate filter housing to facilitate filter changes. The oil cooler is located in the cylinder block's cooling jacket on
the right side.

The oil flow in the engine is controlled with valves located in the pump and the oil filter housings.

The figure shows the lubrication principle for an engine with EGR

A. Safety valve — protects the oil pump, filters, and cooler against too high pressure when the oil has too high viscosity
B. Reduction valve — keeps the oil pressure within correct values
C. Thermostat valve for oil cooler — directs the oil via the oil cooler when the temperature has reached correct value
D. Overflow valve for full-flow filters — opens and lets the oil pass in case the oil filters are clogged
E. Opening valve for piston cooling — engages piston cooling when the oil pressure has reached set opening value
F. Control valve for piston cooling — regulates oil flow to the piston cooling channel

Oil is sucked up through the strainer (1) in the pipe (2) from the oil sump to the lubrication oil pump (3), ), that forces the oil via
the pressure pipe (4) to the oil filter housing (6) past the thermostat valve. In During cold-starts, the oil passes directly out to the
extra oil filter housing on the front part of the engine. When the oil temperature has reached the set thermostat value, the oil is
led via the oil cooler (5) to the filter housing (6). From here the oil is routed up to the filters. After the oil has been filtered in both
full-flow filters (7) the oil is routed via a connecting pipe to the cylinder block's main lubrication channel (8) for distribution to all
lubrication points in the engine as well as to the separator's turbine (9). Lubrication of the valve mechanism takes place via a
drilled channel up to the control valve (10).
The air compressor (11) and turbocharger (12) are lubricated with oil that has been filtered by the full-flow filters (7) and arrives
via external hoses.
The EGR-valve (15) is operated, lubricated, and cooled by oil from the full-flow filters(7).
The piston cooling oil is led in to the cylinder block's piston cooling channel. From there the oil is sprayed on the underside of
the pistons from the nozzles (14).
A separate line supplies the power take-off (16) with lubrication oil. The oil is pumped back to the sump by the pump located on
the same shaft as the fuel feed pump. The return goes via the engine's timing gear. To make sure that the pump does not run
dry before it has had time to suck up oil from the power take-off, it receives a small amount of lubrication oil from the engine's
main lubrication channel via a branching on the air compressor.
Oil pump and oil cooler

Figure 4

The lubrication oil pump (1) is a gear pump located in the engine's trailing edge and is installed with four bolts in the engine
block. It is driven by a gear directly from the crankshaft gear. The pump gears are helical for lower noise level and their shafts are
journaled directly in the pump housing, which is made of aluminum. The suction pipe is divided in two parts. The plastic strainer
(3) is bolted to the ladder frame. The pressure pipe (1) is made of steel and fastened in the cylinder block with a cap nut and is
sealed with rubber seals against the oil pump. The oil cooler (6) is bolted directly to the engine block and is completely
surrounded by coolant thanks to the flow distribution plate (5). Channels in the block ensure that the coolant is led the right way.

Piston cooling system


Figure 6

This shows the oil flow for the piston cooling system when the valve (E) has opened and the valve (F) balances the oil flow to the
piston cooling channel. The piston cooling nozzle is aimed so that the oil jet strikes the inlet hole to the piston's cooling
chamber.
