2.2 Function of oil strainer
The oil strainer strains large particles from the oil.
(1) Oil strainer
(2) Mesh screen
The strainer (1) has a mesh screen (2) suitable for
straining large particles from the oil and yet passes a
sufficient quantity of oil to the inlet side of the oil pump.
The strainer is located so all oil entering the pump from
the oil pan must flow through it.
2.3 Function of oil pump
The oil pump circulates engine oil under pressure to the
rotating bearings, the pistons and the camshaft.
(1) Inner rotor
(2) Outer rotor
The oil pump sucks lubricating oil from the oil pan
through the oil strainer and the oil flows down to the oil
filter. The rotor pump is driven from the crankshaft. This
oil pump has an inner rotor (1) and an outer rotor (2).
The inner rotor (1), which is driven by crankshaft,
rotates the outer rotor (2) in the same direction. The
inner rotor (1) has one less lobe than the outer rotor
(2), and they are eccentrically engaged with each other.
2.4 Function of oil filter
The oil filter is responsible for filtering impurities from
the oil.
(1) Filter element
(2) Bypass valve
(a) Filtered oil
(b) Unfiltered oil
[A] Bypass valve closed
[B] Bypass valve open
In the filtration system, there is only one oil flow from
the oil pump to the oil filter cartridge. After filtering, the
oil goes to the lubricating portion, and is returned to the
crankcase. When the filter cartridge is new, there is
very little pressure drop through the filter element (1).
However, if the filter gets clogged, the resulting
pressure (the oil pressure in inlet line builds up by
98 kPa (1.0 kgf/cm
2
, 14 psi) more than the outlet line)
will open the bypass valve (2) and allow unfiltered oil to
bypass to the lubricating portion.
