Design and manufacture of engines would be greatly simplified if operating conditions were predetermined and uniform. Some applications approach this ideal: constant speed and load, infrequent shutdowns, and controlled ambient conditions. Even then, the engine has to be started at least once. The lubrication system is one of many engine systems expected to perform under a variety of conditions; starting and operating an engine in sub-zero temperatures is particularly demanding.
This paper presents details of a design process, outlined in Figure 1, as applied to optimizing lubrication systems for heavy-duty diesel engines. System and component approaches are applied to the design process: Decision Analysis (1) defines objectives and evaluates alternative components for integration to a total lubrication system design. Systems resulting from these analyses are further evaluated by way of Value Analysis (2), network simulation, design layouts, and engine testing. The interaction of these techniques is effective in reducing the resource requirements for development of new designs.
Likewise, network simulation and test results are discussed with particular attention afforded pressure control valves, oil filters, and their interaction during cold ambient operation.
A typical lubrication system that was studied by these methods is the system for the John Deere 400 Series engine. A schematic of the system is shown in Figure 2. It consists of a gear oil pump, a plate-type oil cooler, full-flow oil filter, and a feedback pressure regulating valve. These componets are part of the “supply side” of the system which pump and condition the oil. Also shown are the journal bearings and piston spray jets. These form the “demand side” of the system which consume the oil.

SAE MOBILUS® Search Tips
Please note: All terms not contained within quotes, will be evaluated using the OR operator. This means that your search results will contain all results that contain ANY of the entered terms.
AND, OR, NOT
SAE MOBILUS supports the use of the AND, OR and NOT BOOLEAN operators ONLY function with the Advanced Search.
Wild Cards
Using the asterisk, ( * ) allows you to search for a partial word. For example, entering a keyword search of aero* will search for any word beginning with aero.
Using the question mark, ( ? ) allows you to search for a word with a single character wildcard. For example, searching for t?re would match both tire and tyre
Using Quotes
Words in double quotes " " are treated as a phrase. Conducting a search for "heat model" will return all results in which the exact phrase "heat model" is found, while "heat modeling" would NOT be included.
A term combined with a phrase will be joined with an OR operator.
Searching for Standards
When searching for a standard please use the entire Document Number assigned, which includes the abbreviation. A space can be used, or omitted between the abbreviation and number.
