Engine lubrication system is generally affected by vehicle driving conditions, which are composed of acceleration, braking deceleration and accelerating during cornering. The major reason is due to the oil pan system in which oil is directly influenced by inertia farce caused by vehicle driving conditions. Therefore, to confirm safety of engine lubrication system inertia farce effects are also considered in the developing state. For the purpose, we have carried the engine tilting tests using ourselves made test rig. Verifying the test results we also measured the inertia effects on the engine lubrication system using the circular tuning and slalom test with vehicle. Through the comparison study between two kinds of results we obtained that the engine tilting test rig was very useful to confirm the safety evaluation of engine lubrication system.

A computer program for the analysis of engine lubrication systems has been developed. And a case study of a four cylinders gasoline engine is illustrated. This paper gives the mathematical models for oil flow through hydraulic tappet as well as the ones of oil jet and plain journal bearings. And the new from an oil pump and the flow resistance through an oil filter is considered at various temperatures. In the analysis, the various design guidelines are applied. The distribution of flow and pressure of an engine lubrication system are calculated, and the pressure data compared with the experimental data at a few points in the engine lubrication system. This method is helpful to design of engine lubrication system efficiently.

In development process of engine lubrication system, many failure cases are related with aeration problem. Therefore, it is very important to clarify the aeration in the engine oil circuit system. As of today, many factors have been introduced as the major cause in the engine oil aeration. However, still many test data related with those are required to clearly understand it. In this paper the aeration measurement system and calculation method are introduced. And also using this system we measured engine oil aeration fur various cases. From these results some conclusions are reduced.

It is very important to control pressure and flow rate distribution on each component of engine lubrication network. Sometimes many kinds of orifice are used to control flow rate in the hydraulic lubrication field. In this study orifices were adopted on the lubrication network to control oil flow rate distribution. And unsteady transient flow network analysis was carried out to find out the effects of orifices on the engine oil circuit system.

Engine lubrication system has very complex oil flow networks. Therefore it is difficult to evaluate and optimize the system only depending on experimental results. When we plan upgrading the engine performance the engine lubrication system must be considered in the plan. In this paper, engine lubrication system design using computational fluid dynamic analysis was studied. To do this, unsteady transient flow network analysis on the engine oil circuit system was carried out. Finally we discussed the design process in the modified engine lubrication system.

Many tribological components in automobile engine undergo high load and sliding speed with thin film thickness. The lubrication characteristics of the components are regarded as ether hydrodynamic lubrication or boundary lubrication, whereas in a working cycle they actually have both characteristics. Many modem engine lubricants have various additives for better performance which make boundary film formation even under hydrodynamic lubrication regime. Conventional Reynolds equation with the viewpoints of continuum mechanics concerns only bulk viscosity of lubricant, which means that its simulation does not give insights on boundary lubrication characteristics. However, many additives of modern engine lubricant provide mixed modes of boundary lubrication characteristics and hydrodynamic lubrication. Especially, high molecular weight polymeric viscosity index improvers form boundary film on the solid surface and cause non-Newtonian fluid effect of shear thinning. This study has performed the investigation about journal bearing system with the mixed concepts of boundary lubrication and hydrodynamic lubrication which happen concurrently in many engine components under the condition of viscosity index improver added.

초기 엔진 개발 단계에서 양질의 엔진 개념 설계를 얻기 위해 가장 중요하게 다루는 분야가 엔진윤활시스템 설계라는 것은 지나친 말이 아니다. 그러므로 초기 개념설계 후 엔진제작에 앞서 초기 설계된 윤활시스템과 그 관련 부품에 대한 시스템 윤활해석을 수행하는 것은 필수적이다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 초기 개념 설계된 2.0 L DOHC엔진에 대한 엔진 베어링과 윤활시스템에 대하여 수치해석적으로 유로망 해석을 하여 설계검증을 한 결과를 기술하고자 한다.

A Parametric study based on a computer analysis of the lubrication system of a four-cylinder gasoline engine is illustrated. Through the parametric study, the effects of various aeration levels on the change of oil flow rate and pressure are investigated. Also, at high oil temperature and low engine speed, the effect of oil aeration level on oil flow characteristics in lubrication system is investigated. The illustrated results may give to designers the guide lines of oil aeration level for the safe design of engine lubrication systems in terms of minimum pressure at crank oil bore.
