Diesel Lubrication and Fuel Delivery System

The document discusses the lubrication system of a diesel engine. It describes the main functions of lubrication which are to lubricate moving parts, cool the engine, seal the cylinder wall, and clean deposits. It also lists the key components of a lubrication system which include the oil pump, oil strainer, oil filter, and oil cooler.

INTRODUCTION: Lubrication System

The lubrication system of a diesel engine is almost the same as that of a gasoline engine. But a
diesel engine generates more carbon particles during combustion that is why it has a specially
designed lubrication components, because its operating temperature is generally high moving
parts are subjected to greater stress and friction.

MAIN FUNCTIONS OF LUBRICATION SYSTEM

LUBRICATES
Engine oil lubricants metal surface in the engine by forming a film of oil over them. This oil film
reduces friction between metal surfaces and minimizes wear and power loss.

COOLING
Combustion of fuel generates heat, and engine parts become extremely hot. This will lead to
engine seizure unless something is done to lower the heat. Aside from water, engine oil
circulates around the engine parts and helps to lessen the heat of the engine.

SEALING
Engine oil forms a film of oil between the piston and the cylinder. This serves as the seal to the
cylinder wall to prevent loose of engine power.

CLEANING
Sludge and carbon are deposited on engine parts. This increase friction and blocks oil passages.
Engine oil washes this deposits away to prevent their accumulation inside the engine.
COMPONENTS OF LUBRICATION SYSTEM

OIL PUMP
A device use to suck oil pan and distributes the oil
to all engine moving parts through oil passages
provided on the engine.

OIL STRAINER
A screen use to strain oil coming from the oil pan
before the oil reaches the oil pump.

OIL FILTER
This traps all the dirt’s and sludge that goes with the oil.

OIL COOLER (on some models only)


This is where the oil is cooled. All of the oil from the
oil pan flows to the oil cooler where it is cooled.

OIL NOZZLES / OIL JET (on some models only)


In some diesel engines, oil nozzles are provided on
the cylinder block to cool the inside of the piston.
Part of the oil flowing from the main oil gallery in
the cylinder block passes through the check valve
and is injected under pressure from the oil nozzles
to cool the inside of the pistons.
LESSON NO. IV: DIESEL ENGINE SYSTEM

TOPIC NO. III FUEL SYSTEM

The equipment use to force fuel from the combustion chamber is a very important part of
diesel engine. It must be precision made, not only must it meter the quantity of fuel required
for each cycle of the engine, but it must develop the high pressure instant of the operating
cycle.

COMPONENTS OF DIESEL FUEL SYSTEM

FUEL TANK
Storage of fuel

FUEL LINES
Special piping made of metal tube or hose made of
special plastic material, wherein the fuel flows from
the tank.

TYPE OF DIESEL FUEL LINES


A. Low pressure line
B. High pressure line
C. Fuel return line

A B C

FEED PUMP
A single acting pump that draws up fuel tank and
force it through the fuel filter to the injection pump.
FUEL FILTER
It strains dirt and dust that goes with the fuel.

WATER SEDIMETER
A device like fuel filter that traps and separates the
water from the fuel.

INJECTION PUMP
A device in the diesel fuel system that pressurizes
meters and control the amount of fuel to be
injected to each engine cylinder.

INJECTION FUEL / INJECTOR


A device for injecting diesel fuel into the
combustion chamber of an engine against the
pressure of air within the chamber.

GOVERNOR
A device in the injection pump designed to control the speed of the engine within specified
limits.
TYPES OF INJECTION PUMP
A. Common rail
B. Unit injector
C. In-line type (multi-plunger)
D. Distributor type (rotary type)

COMMON RAIL SYSTEM


The common rail system consists of a high pressure pump which distributes fuel to a common
rail or header to which each injector connected by tubing.

UNIT INJECTOR SYSTEM


This system combines the pump and the injector into a single unit. High pressure feel lines are
eliminated. Operation of the unit injector is usually by means of push rod and rocker arm.

IN-LINE TYPE (multi-plunger)


This is also known as the jerk pump system and provides a single pump for each injector. The
pump is separately mounted and is driven by a gear connected to its camshaft. Connection to
injector is made by high pressure lines.

DISTRIBUTOR TYPE (rotary type)


This type is consisting of a single pump element that pressurizes and distributes fuel into the
injector through the fuel tubing.
