Abstract:
A method of modifying the oil cooling system of a diesel engine includes the steps of removing the original equipment liquid-to-liquid heat exchanger and installing a manifold having a configuration adapted to match the mounting configuration of the oil passages of the original equipment liquid-to-liquid heat exchanger. The manifold has an oil outlet port directed to a remotely mounted oil cooler. The manifold also has a water passage having a configuration that is adapted to match the mounting configuration of the water passages of the original equipment liquid-to-liquid heat exchanger. The water passage causes the entirety of the flow of water to be discharged back to the water cooling system of the engine where it is circulated by the water pump through the water cooling passages in the engine.
Abstract:
A filter element for filtering a fluid is provided with a housing and a filter body arranged in the housing. A cover closes off one end of the housing. An inlet is arranged on the cover at a raw side of the filter element for inflow of a fluid into the filter element. An outlet is arranged on the cover at a clean side of the filter element for discharge of the fluid from the filter element. The cover has a connecting area connecting the filter element with a counter element of a filter system. The cover has a sealing area that seals between the filter element and a receptacle of the filter system. A seal is disposed in the sealing area and has two separate sealing surfaces that effect a sealing action in the connecting area in axial direction and in radial direction of the filter element.
Abstract:
It is an object to increase the reliability and durability by minimizing mixing/entry of foreign matter (contaminants) into a speed reducer. The speed reducer is provided for reducing rotation of an actuator of a variable compression ratio mechanism and for transmitting the reduced rotation to a control shaft of the variable compression ratio mechanism. The actuator and the speed reducer are attached to a sidewall of an engine main body with a housing therebetween. An oil filter, which removes contaminants from within lubricating oil, is attached to the housing with an oil-passage-forming body therebetween. A portion of the lubricating oil supplied from the oil filter immediately after having been filter-purified is supplied via a bypass oil passage, formed in the oil-passage-forming body and the housing, into a speed-reducer accommodation chamber of the housing.
Abstract:
An aircraft engine having at least two shafts, each mounted rotatably about a center axis of the aircraft engine. A first shaft is driven, during operation of the aircraft engine, at a lower speed than a second shaft of the aircraft engine. A chamber limited at least in some areas by one of the shafts is provided, inside which is arranged a device for separating oil from an air-oil volume flow, said device being in operative connection with one of the shafts of the aircraft engine. The device for separating oil is in operative connection with the second shaft of the aircraft engine.
Abstract:
Provided is a variable-capacity oil pump capable of stably securing a required pump discharge volume and discharge pressure even with a clogged oil filter and/or an electromagnetic valve failed. The oil pump is provided with a first control chamber for applying a force under oil pressure from a main oil gallery in a direction for decreasing of the eccentricity of a cam ring, a second control chamber for applying a force under oil pressure from the oil gallery in cooperation with a spring force in a direction for increasing of the cam-ring eccentricity, a first branch flow path that connects the oil gallery and the first control chamber, and a second branch flow path branched from the first branch flow path and communicating with the second control chamber via the electromagnetic valve. Two oil filters are disposed in the oil gallery and the first branch flow path, respectively.
Abstract:
A filter device may include a filter housing cover defining a chamber and an annular filter element arranged within the receiving chamber. The filter device may further include a housing and at least one intermediate piece arranged between the filter housing cover and the housing when the cover is secured to the housing. An inlet duct may be in communication with an untreated side of the filter element and an outlet duct may be in communication with a clean side of the filter element. A drainage duct may be arranged in the housing for draining the chamber during removal of the cover. A closure device may be arrange in the intermediate piece and have a closure element configured to close the drainage duct.
Abstract:
A system in some embodiments includes a machine block comprising features configured to support moving machine components within a lubricating fluid, wherein the machine block includes an integral valve block configured to route the lubricating fluid through a first filter without a second filter and configured to route the lubricating fluid through the second filter without the first filter. Further embodiments include a method that includes switching circulation of a lubricant between a first filter and a second filter in response to an angular position of a valve disposed in a valve block integral to a machine block having moving components lubricated by the lubricant.
Abstract:
A liquid filter having a housing with a removable cover and an exchangeable cylindrical insert enclosed by two end disks. The filter has a bypass valve and the upper end disk has a central valve seat interacting with a valve body. The housing has a central discharge duct, with a closure pin fixed in the duct which is axially adjustable between closed and open positions. The filter has a valve body carrier connected, with limited axial displaceability, to the pin. The carrier, on its free end, has the bypass valve body, and onto which the insert end disk is mountable. The carrier is preloaded with a force, acting in the closing direction of the valve via a housing spring. During mounting of the insert onto the carrier, a force acting in the closing direction of the closure pin can be exerted directly on the pin by the insert.
Abstract:
A crankcase for an internal combustion engine, having a suction arrangement which is assigned to the crankcase and is configured for ventilating the crankcase of blow-by gas, in particular a gas/oil mixture, to produce a limited vacuum in the crankcase is disclosed. The crankcase has at least one dividing wall which is configured to feed blow-by gas and to separate oil. A ventilating housing part and a carrier housing part which is arranged above the ventilating housing part in included in the crankcase. The dividing wall is formed between the ventilating housing part and the carrier housing part and a suction arrangement is formed in the form of a suction jet pump which is configured for extracting oil from the dividing wall.
Abstract:
A lubricant reclamation system comprising a reclamation housing providing an exterior shell and an interfacing surface defining a housing interior. One or more conductive reclamation subassemblies are disposed within the housing interior. Each conductive reclamation subassembly comprises a conductive reclamation matrix having a series of conductive reclamation passages passing therethrough. Power is provided to the conductive reclamation matrix to energize the material. The energized material aids in the reclamation process by interacting with ionic characteristics of the fluid, magnetic particulate matter, and the like. An additive delivery subassembly is disposed within the housing interior. The additive delivery subassembly comprises an additive form having a series of additive passages passing therethrough. An additive is embedded within the additive delivery subassembly in a manner enabling dissolution of the additive as the fluid passes through the plurality of additive passages.
