The main functions of lube oil can be categorized into four main areas:
- Lubricating: Oil lubricates and protect parts by forming a film between them and reducing wear
- Cleaning: Contaminants are transported away from the points of friction and retained in oil filters
- Cooling: Oil dissipates heat and cools it in heat exchangers.
- Sealing: Thick oil is also used to form a seal between the cylinder walls and piston rings
The lubricating system is an important core component of Diesel Engines and Mechanical Drives. Therefore, the oil system has to be reliable: L + K Systems Engineering has extensive experience in planning, designing and manufacturing of lubricating oil systems and delivers proven solutions.
