    Abstract: Systems and apparatuses include a lubrication system having an engine piston defining a gudgeon pin aperture, a piston pooling cavity extending radially outward from the gudgeon pin aperture, a piston cooling gallery, and a piston lubrication passage. The piston lubrication passage is in fluid communication with the piston cooling gallery and the piston pooling cavity. The piston further includes a pin journal received in the gudgeon pin aperture of the engine piston and defining a journal aperture in fluid communication with the piston pooling cavity and a journal pooling cavity in fluid communication with the journal aperture. A gudgeon pin is received within the gudgeon pin aperture adjacent the pin journal, which provides fluid communication between the journal pooling cavity and the gudgeon pin.

    Abstract: A piston structure of an engine includes a piston having a crown part including a crown surface defining a combustion chamber, and an opposite back surface, an oil jet, a center-side first cavity and an outer-circumference-side second cavity formed inside the crown part and partitioned from each other, each cavity including a ceiling surface on the combustion chamber side and an opposite bottom surface, a communicating hole that is formed in a partitioning wall between the cavities, an introduction hole that is formed in the bottom surface of the first cavity and introduces into the first cavity oil injected toward the back surface from the oil jet, and a discharge hole that is formed in the bottom surface of at least one cavity and discharges the oil. The ceiling surface of the second cavity is located on the combustion chamber side of the ceiling surface of the first cavity.

    Abstract: A rotating structure provides a first annular array of first radial scoops and a second annular array of second radial scoops arranged axially with respect to the first annular array of first radial scoops. A first component is arranged in an axially forward direction relative to the first annular array of first radial scoops. A second component is arranged in an axially aft direction relative to the second annular array of second radial scoops. A lubrication system includes at least one nozzle aimed at the first and second annular arrays of first and second radial scoops. A first lubrication delivery path fluidly connects the first annular array of first radial scoops to the first component along the axially forward direction. A second lubrication delivery path fluidly connects the second annular array of second radial scoops to the second component along the axially aft direction.

    Abstract: An apparatus for controlling oil pump pressure includes a sensor for sensing knocking of an engine, an oil pump configured to determine a pressure for discharging engine oil toward a piston of the engine, and a control unit configured to control the pressure of the engine oil discharged toward the piston by determining whether the knocking occurs based on a parameter transmitted from the sensor for determining whether the knocking occurs, and by controlling the oil pump based on whether the knocking occurs in the engine.

    Abstract: Disclosed is lubrication for a slow-running two-stroke engine, especially marine diesel engines. The lubrication uses Swirl Injection Principle by locating the lubricant injectors closer to the TDC than ⅕ of the full stroke of the piston, which is closer than in typical marine diesel engines. This can be achieved by reconstructing cylinder liners or by adding new mounting holes to the cylinder. In case that such reconstruction is not possible, an improvement of SIP principles can also be achieved by directing the spray towards the TDC or to a location on the cylinder liner closer to the TDC as compared to the location of the SIP valves, for example under an angle of more than 30 degrees or even more than 60 degrees when measured from a plane normal to the cylinder axis.
