Abstract:
The lubrication distribution system can be used whenever two chambers are separated by a wall with a source of lubrication in one chamber, a suction source in the other chamber and a pair of pathways between them for transporting oil. The oil distribution system for the internal combustion chamber uses appropriately placed ports and centrifugal force generated by a flywheel to provide lubrication for all moving parts in the engine. Oil is delivered from a sump to the cam chest. The cam chest is separated from the flywheel housing by a wall. A venturi port opening in the wall creates suction in the cam chest by virtue of the centrifugal force created by the flywheel. An air-oil mixture is circulated throughout the cam chest and through the venturi port opening. The oil mixture is circulated through the flywheel housing and returned to the cam chest through a second set of ports between the cam chest and flywheel housing.
Abstract:
There is described a dosing system for cylinder lubrication oil for large diesel motor cylinders, e.g., in marine engines. The system has a supply pipe and a return pipe provided with each their valve (3, 27), and which are connected with a central supply pump. This comprises a number of injection units that are connected with the said pipes. Each unit comprises an injection nozzle for injecting atomized cylinder lubricating oil into an associated cylinder, a piston (1) provided at a rearmost part of the nozzle rod, and a controllable motor (37) which via a screw (33) is connected with the piston (1) in order thereby to adjust the pump stroke of the piston (1). Futhermore, the system comprises a central computer for controlling the valves (3, 27) and the motor (37) so that precise control of the amount of oil and precise timing are achieved.
Abstract:
A lubrication system for the timing chains of a V-type engine includes an oil supply means supplied by a single oil supply source. The oil supply means receives oil from a single spouting hole of a single main oil gallery and simultaneously supplies the oil to two timing chains, one of the left bank and the other of the right bank. Thereby the bulk of the cylinder block is reduced and the design and layout of the peripheral elements of the cylinders is simplified.
Abstract:
A monobloc piston has at least two steel parts welded together to define an inner cooling gallery. An outer ring belt is spaced from an inner annular support wall and is joined by a combustion bowl and a lower wall. A pair of pin bosses have axially aligned pin bores. A skirt is formed as one immovable piece with the pin bores. The piston has the following dimensional relationships: ISMD=42-55% of BD, where ISMD is a mean diameter on the inner support wall and BD is an outer diameter of the ring belt wall, ISW=3-8% of BD, where ISW is a sectional width of the inner support wall, CH>53% of BD where CH is a compression height measured between the pin bore axis and the upper surface, TLH>4% of BD, where TLH is a top land height measured between the top of the upper ring groove and the upper surface, SL=30-80% of BD, where SL is a length of the skirt measured between the upper and lower ends of the skirt, SW=2.5-6.5% of BD, where SW is a thickness of the skirt, and GV=150-250% of BD2 and 5-20% of BD2×CH, where GV is a volume of the oil gallery.
Abstract:
A device for controlling the flow of an oil mist through barb outlets in a lubricating oil distributor having a mist-receiving chamber into which the barb outlets extend comprises a fitting mounted to the barb to collect oil precipitating and flowing upon the exposed surfaces of the barb and fitting and divert the collected oil away from the mist entranceway of the barb. The collected oil is thus prevented from being entrained by the mist flow through the barbs and increasing the oil output from the distributor.
Abstract:
An oil lubrication system for a marine outboard motor including an internal combustion engine. The oil lubrication system includes a series of oil passageways within the cylinder block of the internal combustion engine. The oil passageways are configured such that each cylinder in the internal combustion engine is supplied by its own oil passageway. Each of the oil passageways terminate in an outlet opening. The outlet opening is positioned within the cylinder block such that oil exiting the outlet opening is directed by the force of gravity into contact with a moving component of the internal combustion engine. As the internal components of the internal combustion engine move, oil contacting the components is physically distributed into contact with the bearings.
Abstract:
An internal combustion engine for a vehicle includes a crankshaft, a piston movable through a cycle, a piston rod connecting the piston and the crankshaft, an oil pan spaced from the crankshaft, and an oil source providing pressurized oil. An inventive windage tray is positioned between the crankshaft and the oil pan. The windage tray includes a passage having an inlet port receiving the pressurized oil and a first outlet port directing a first stream of the pressurized oil at the piston. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the passage further includes a second outlet port directing a second stream of pressurized oil at the piston. The first outlet port is positioned to direct the first stream of pressurized oil upon the piston unobstructed by the piston rod during a first portion of the piston cycle. The second outlet port is positioned to direct the second stream of pressurized oil upon the piston unobstructed by the piston rod during the remaining portion of the piston cycle.
Abstract:
An arrangement for lubricating the piston pin and associated bearing surfaces in a reciprocating machine wherein a charge is compressed in a crankcase chamber. The arrangement includes a groove in the cooperating bearing surfaces in which lubricant is retained. The opposite ends of the groove are exposed to different pressure areas in the engine that vary cyclically, but not in phase with each other so lubricant will be pumped back and forth in the groove during the cyclic engine operation.
Abstract:
In a two cycle internal combustion engine with uni-directional flow scavenging wherein a piston is disposed in a cylinder so as to be movable between top and bottom dead center end positions, the cylinder has fresh air inlet passages which are so arranged that their bottom walls are disposed below the piston top edge when the piston is in its bottom dead center position so that part of the piston top land is directly exposed to the fresh air flow through the air inlet passages and oil discharge bores extend from the air inlet passages and are in communication with the oil circulating system for the removal of oil wiped off the cylinder wall and collected in the inlet passages.
Abstract:
In an arrangement for supplying cooling oil to the piston of an internal combustion engine which has intake and exhaust valve drive and also fuel injection pump drive components, a pipe is mounted on the engine housing in communication with a cooling oil supply passage and has a free end extending under the piston for spraying cooling oil to the underside of the piston, at least one additional discharge opening is provided on the pipe which is directed toward the intake and exhaust valve drive components and the fuel injection pump drive components.
