DIESEL LUBE OIL COOLING AND PURIFICATION SYSTEM

DRAWING FS 430

DESCRIPTION
The lubricating oil piping system is shown on FS 430,

The arrange-

ment shown is typical for diesel units at all stations.
The system consists of a built-in lubricating oil pump with a

capacity of 60 GPM, oil filter, oil cooler, oil strainer, auxiliary
hand oil pump, piping, fittings, thermostats, thermometers, gauges and
drain.
The oil filling is by hand through an oil filler nozzle located
at rear of engine,

top of block.

The built-in lubricating 011 pump draws oil from the oil pan
through a coarse intake strainer and forces it through the cooler and
fine strainer into the engine.

A small part of the oil from the pump

is by-passed through the filter, cooler, strainers and back into the
engine.

The temperature of the oil is regulated by means of an auto-

matic regulator, V-9, which by-passes more or less oil around the
cooler.
After leaving the cooler, the oil flows into the engine system;
the inlet 1s provided with a regulating relief valve V-7 set at 30 psi
for by-passing excess oil.

Should the built-in lubricating oil pump fail, a hand operated
auxiliary lubricating pump is available by opening valves V-3 and V-8.
Thus the pump may also be used as a pre-lubrication pump and can be
operated for a short time after the engine stops for after-cooling

purposes,
