An engine assembly includes an engine, an external oil reservoir, a supply pump, and a return pump. The engine includes an oil gallery configured to distribute oil and a crankcase chamber. The external oil reservoir includes an oil tank defining an oil chamber and an oil filter assembly including a housing at least partially defining a filter chamber, and a filter positioned within the filter chamber. The supply pump is in fluid communication with the oil chamber and the oil gallery and the supply pump is configured to draw oil from the oil chamber and provide pressurized oil to the oil gallery. The return pump in fluid communication with the crankcase chamber and the filter chamber and the return pump is configured to draw oil from the crankcase chamber and provide pressurized oil to the filter chamber.

An oil tank and scavenge pipe assembly of a gas turbine engine comprises a tank, and a scavenge pipe having a discharge portion disposed inside the tank. The discharge portion comprises a first portion having first and second ends. The first end is adapted to connect to an oil return line for receiving a mixture of oil and air. A bend extends from the second end downstream thereof relative to a flow of the mixture of oil and air through the scavenge pipe. The bend is configured to cause stratification of the mixture of oil and air as the mixture of oil and air flows through it. An outlet downstream of the bend delivers the mixture of oil and air to the tank. A method of delivering an oil and air mixture to a rotating oil volume of a tank of a gas turbine engine is also presented.

A transaxle for a vehicle has a case adapted to retain a transaxle oil. A chain transfers torque between transaxle gears, and a snubber is disposed along the tension side of the chain. The snubber comprises a molded base plate with a pair of mounting inserts extending transverse to the base plate to mount the snubber to a case of the transaxle. A snubber plate is integrally molded with the base plate and extends substantially transversely from a longitudinal side of the base plate to frame an edge of the chain. A ramp plate is integrally molded with the base plate and extends substantially transversely from the base plate and obliquely with respect to the snubber plate. A scoop is integrally molded with the base plate and extends from the ramp plate configured to transversely deflect a flow of transaxle oil directed to the scoop by the ramp plate.

A four-cycle multi-cylinder engine includes a crankcase, a cylinder block, a crankshaft, and a gear-shift input shaft. The crankcase is vertically divided into an upper case and a lower case. The cylinder block is integrated with the crankcase. The crankshaft and the gear-shift input shaft are journaled to a contact surface of the crankcase. The cylinder block is inclined rearward such that an extended line intersects with a cylinder axis line of the cylinder block at an acute angle in an engine side view. The extended line connects respective central axes of the crankshaft and the gear-shift input shaft.

A fracturing device includes a power unit, and the power unit includes a muffling compartment, a turbine engine, and an air intake unit. The air intake unit is communicated with the turbine engine through an intake pipe and configured to provide a combustion-supporting gas to the turbine engine; the air intake unit is at a top of the muffling compartment and the muffling compartment has an accommodation space, the turbine engine is within the accommodation space. A fan is further provided to generate wither positive pressure or negative presser in the muffling compartment to facilitate a cooling of the turbine engine.
