Servo oil pump
The servo oil pumps supply the servo oil system with oil during usual operation. The number of
servo oil pumps is related to the engine.
The pressure is related to the engine load. The electrically controlled system adjusts the system
pressure for the full load range. For example there is high pressure (approximately 300 bar) at
high engine load, and decreased pressure at low engine load.
Flow sensors monitor the oil supply in each inlet pipe of the servo oil pumps. A malfunction of a
servo oil pump will show in the alarm and monitoring system.
If a servo oil pump cannot turn, for safety the waisted shaft will break. This will prevent too much
damage to the supply unit drive.
Also if one servo oil pump becomes defective, the engine can continue to operate at full load.
NOTE:
Do not operate the engine with a defective servo oil pump for too long. You must replace
a defective servo oil pump as soon as possible.
