摘要:
A method is disclosed for initiating oil injection into a cylinder of an internal combustion engine prior to engine start-up, the oil injection protecting the engine from damage caused by insufficient lubrication during the start-up. The method includes processing data to modulate a lubrication initiation modifier and initiating the oil injection on the basis of the lubrication initiation modifier.

A lubrication control system includes an accumulator to store oil. The accumulator can be filled with oil during operation of an engine. A control valve can be selectively operated to allow oil stored in the accumulator to flow to a turbocharger. At least one control module can control operation of a hybrid electric vehicle and determine an operating condition of the engine and command the control valve to open and close based on the operating condition.

An oil flow control system has a flow control device and an oil accumulator controller. The flow control device includes a body, a passage extending through the body, and a flow control portion configured for selectively controlling flow through the passage. The oil accumulator controller is coupled to an actuation portion of the flow control device and is configured for receiving an engine oil pressure indicating signal from an engine oil pressure sensor, for receiving Minimum Engine Lubrication Oil Pressure (MELOP) threshold computing information for an engine comprising the engine oil pressure sensor, and for causing the actuation portion to manipulate the flow control portion in a manner resulting in the flow control portion affecting flow through the passage. Causing the actuation portion to manipulate the flow control portion is performed dependent upon the engine oil pressure indicating signal and a MELOP threshold computed using said MELOP threshold computing information.

In a system for pre-lubrication of an internal combustion engine of a vehicle having an oil reservoir and at least one oil passageway or galley in communication with an exterior of the engine, there is provided a fluid circuit, external to the engine, including a first conduit having an inlet and an outlet, the inlet in fluid communication with an output of the oil reservoir. The fluid circuit also includes an auxiliary oil hydraulic pump, including a pump motor having an inlet and an outlet, the inlet in fluid communication with the outlet of the first conduit. The fluid circuit also includes a second conduit having an inlet and an outlet, the inlet in fluid communication with the outlet of the pump, the outlet in fluid communication with the engine oil passageway and galleys. The fluid circuit also includes switches and timers for selectably actuating the motor of the oil pump for selectable periods of time prior to, and/or after, ignition. Further included is a valve for selectably closing the outlet of the second conduit at or upstream of the inlet to the engine oil passageway, in which the valve is normally-open.

A method of controlling the delivery of fluid to an engine includes receiving a fuel flow rate signal. An electric pump is arranged to deliver fluid to the engine. The speed of the electric pump is controlled based on the fuel flow rate signal.
摘要:
An internal combustion engine pre-lubrication system that operates before a typical internal combustion engine is started, in which engine oil inside the pre-lubrication system is rapidly delivered in advance of actual starting through the main oil duct to the internal combustion components requiring lubrication. When the internal combustion engine starting process occurs, all the engine components operate quicker, piston compression is more optimal, internal combustion engine starting is easier, frictional wear between engine components is reduced, fuel combustion is more complete and thereby complies with exhaust emission standards, and overall internal combustion engine service life is effectively prolonged.

A pre-start engine oiler for internal combustion engines provides a pressurized charge of oil to the lubricating system when the ignition key is turned to the on position and prior to engaging the starter. A reservoir connected with a valve body is supplied with oil under pressure from the engine lubricating system through a check valve disposed in an oil passage in the body when the oil pump pressure exceeds the reservoir pressure during the course of operation. The oil passage is connected by an oil line to an existing oil conduit by a tee or to an adapter installed between the oil filter and the engine block. Oil ports above and below the check valve extend between the oil passage and a piston chamber containing a sliding piston which normally closes flow through the oil ports. The piston is retracted by a solenoid connected in series to the ignition circuit through an electronic timer and switch. When the ignition key is turned to the on position and before it reaches the start position to engage the starter, the solenoid is energized to retract the piston and rapidly discharge the pressurized oil from the reservoir through the oil ports and into the oil galley at a pressure approximately equal to the greatest oil pressure produced by the oil pump prior to the engine being turned off.

The present disclosure sets forth an adapter for installation on an automobile engine in lieu of a disposable cartridge filter. The adapter includes inlet and outlet fittings. The inlet and outlet fittings connect through a pair of flexible hoses to a raised filter housing installed at an elevated location in the engine compartment. The system also includes an oil reservoir which accumulates oil under pressure where the oil under pressure is stored until engine starting. This enhances lubrication within the engine at the upper portions thereof to avoid dry starting which occurs when the oil otherwise settles to the bottom of the engine. The reservoir in conjunction with the filter housing operates with selected valves and checkvalves so a hydrostatic head of oil pressure is achieved even when the engine is not operating.
摘要:
An apparatus to pre-lubricate an engine to avoid undue wear and to augment an engine's main lubrication pump with an auxiliary oil pump attached between the oil filter and the engine which directs lubrication from the engine's sump through the existing filter and into the engine's conventional lubrication circuit.
摘要:
A pre-oiling system for automatically injecting oil into the oil gallery lubricating system of an automotive engine prior to start up. The assembly includes an outer vessel, a manifold valve block, which is attached to the outer vessel and includes a solenoid valve, and a control circuit for logic control of the solenoid valve. An air replenishment assembly is positioned on the outer vessel permitting measurement of the pressure in the outer vessel and also allowing for air to be added to the outer vessel to pressurize oil contained within the outer vessel. In one embodiment, the air replenishment assembly includes a schrader valve which provides replacement air to the outer vessel and the spare tire. Oil is automatically injected into the oil gallery lubricating system upon the engine starting. Specifically, the solenoid valve is opened in response to the engine being started which allows pressurized oil to flow from the outer vessel to the oil gallery of the engine. During operation of the engine, oil is pumped into the outer vessel and the air is pressurized for subsequent starting operations of the engine. In one embodiment, the outer vessel also includes an additional inner vessel that has pressurized air and oil which will provide the oil upon the engine turning off to a turbocharger.
