The standard engine is equipped with:

– Engine driven lubricating oil pump. System Flow

– Lubricating oil cooler.
– Lubricating oil thermostatic valve. The lubricating oil pump draws oil from the oil sump

and pumps the oil through the cooler and filter to the
main lubricating oil bore, from where the oil is distri-
buted throughout the engine. Subsequently the oil
returns by gravity to the oil sump.The oil pressure is
controlled by an adjustable spring-loaded relief valve
built in the system.

The main groups of components to be lubricated are:
1 – Turbocharger
2 – Main bearings, big-end bearing pistons etc.
3 – Camshaft drive
4 – Rocker arms
5 – Camshaft
6 – Governor drive
ad 1) The turbocharger is an integrated part of the
lub. oil system, thus allowing continuous priming and
lubrication when engine is running. For priming and
during operation the turbocharger is connected to
the lub. oil circuit of the engine. The oil serves for
bearing lubrication and cooling of the turbocharger.
ad 2) Lubricating oil for the main bearings is sup-
plied through holes in the engine frame. From the
main bearings it passes through bores in the cranks-
haft to the connecting rod big-end bearings.
The connecting rods have bored channels for supply
of oil from the big-end bearings to the small-end
bearings, which has an inner circumferential groove,
and a bore for distribution of oil to the piston.
From the front main bearing channels are bored in
the crankshaft for lubricating of the damper.
ad 4) The lubricating oil to the rocker arms is led
through bores in the engine frame to each cylinder
head. The oil continues through bores in the cylinder
head and rocker arm to the movable parts to be
lubricated at the rocker arm and valve bridge.
ad 5) Through a bore in the frame lub oil is led to
camshafts bearings.
Lubricating Oil Pump
The lubricating oil pump, which is of the helical gear
type, is mounted in the front end box of the engine
and is driven by the crankshaft.
Lubricating Oil Cooler
As standard the lubricating oil cooler is of the plate
type. The cooler is mounted on the front end box.

Thermostatic Valve
The thermostatic valve is a fully automatic 3-way
valve with thermostatic elements set at fixed tem-
perature.
Built-on Full-flow Depth Filter
The lubricating oil filter is of the duplex paper car-
tridge type. It is a depth filter with a nominel fineness
of 10-15 microns, and a safety filter with a fineness
of 60 microns.
Prelubrication
As standard the engine is equipped with an electric-
driven prelubricating oil pump mounted parallel to
the main pump. The pump is arranged for automatic
operation, ensuring standstill of the prelubricating oil
pump when the engine is running, and running
during engine standstill in stand-by position by the
engine control system.
Draining of the Oil Sump
It is recommended to use the separator suction pipe
for draining of the lubricating oil sump.
Crankcase Ventilation
The crankcase ventilation is not to be directly con-
nected with any other piping system. It is preferable
that the crankcase ventilation pipe from each engine
is led independently to the weather. The outlet is to
be fitted with corrosion resistant flame screen sepa-
rately for each engine.
08028-0D/H5250/94.08.12
However, if a manifold arrangements is used, its
arrangements are to be as follows:
1) The vent pipe from each engine is to run
indepently to the manifold, and be fitted with
corrosion resistant flame screen within the
manifold.

2) The manifold is to be located as high as
practicable so as to allow substantial length of
piping separating the crankcase.
3) The manifold is to be vented to the weather,
such that the vent outlet is fitted with corrosion
resistant flame screen, and the clear open
area of the vent outlet is not less than the
aggregate area of the individual crankcase
vent pipes entering the manifold.
4) The manifold is to be provided with drainage
arrangement.

The ventilation pipe should be designed to eliminate
the risk of water condensation in the pipe flowing
back into the engine and should end in the open air:
– The connection between engine (C13) and the
ventilation pipe must be flexible.
– The ventilation pipe should be continuously
inclined (min. 5 degrees).
– A continuous drain has to be installed near the
engine. The drain must not be lead back to the
engine.
– Dimension of the flexible connection DN100.
– Dimension of the ventilation pipe after the
flexible connection min. DN100.
Oil Level Switches
The oil level is automatically monitored by level
switches giving alarm if the level is out of range.
