An oil chamber wall arrangement is described as comprising: a chamber wall surrounding a rotor; a plurality of apertures defining through-holes for a flow of oil through the chamber wall, the apertures being defined by a pair of axially separated opposing walls and a pair of circumferentially opposing walls wherein the circumferentially opposing walls are separated by a midline which is radial to the rotational axis of the rotor and at least one of the pair of circumferentially opposing walls is not parallel to the radial midline.

This drive system for a motor vehicle includes a top end and a bottom end that are coupled together, a kinematic drive chain, a compressor, a main lubrication system, that includes a main circuit and a main pump, which supplies at least the bottom end with a main lubricant via the main circuit, and a secondary lubrication system, that includes at least one secondary circuit separated from the main circuit and at least one secondary pump separate from the main pump, the secondary pump supplying the top end and/or the compressor with a secondary lubricant via the secondary circuit. The secondary lubrication system includes at least one secondary actuator mechanically separate from the kinematic drive chain and that drives the secondary pump to supply the top end and/or the compressor with the secondary lubricant.

A component for a centrifugal deaerator for removing gas from a turbomachine air/oil mixture includes a structural part configured to delimit a duct for the flow of the air/oil mixture, and includes a circumferential enclosure for the centrifugal separation of the air/oil mixture, an axial inlet for the air/oil mixture, radial oil outlets, and an outlet for oil-free air. The component includes at least one cellular structure configured to filter the oil while allowing the air to pass and occupying at least a space in the duct.

A central lubricating station for lubricating one or more machine part(s), having a container base adapted for holding at least two replaceable containers. Each replaceable container holds at least one type of lubricant; and one or more pump(s) is configured for pumping at least one type of lubricant interchangeably from the at least two replaceable containers to the one or more machine part(s); and a motor is configured for driving the one or more pumps.

Device for removing foreign matter from a liquid by means of at least one filter, wherein the liquid with the foreign matter is fed from a bath to the filter by means of a rotor (34) via a shaft or an extension (40) in a housing (9), wherein an inlet (22) extends columnar vertically over at least a major part of a rear wall (21) of the housing (9) opposite to the filter.

This invention relates to an oil reservoir system for an engine comprising: an oil container which includes an oil reservoir, which is in fluidic communication with an oil circulation system of an engine, a ventilated headspace and an oil filter located at the interior of said oil container. The invention also relates to a method for deaeration of an oil of an oil reservoir which is in fluidic communication with an oil circulation system of an engine. Furthermore, the invention relates to a vehicle comprising the oil reservoir system.

This oil console device (24) is provided with: an oil tank (40) which recovers and stores lubricating oil which has lubricated a bearing portion supporting a rotating body; a pressure reducing fan (71) which is coupled to the oil tank (40) and which reduces the pressure inside the oil tank (40) such that the pressure becomes a negative pressure; an oil mist separator (50) which is provided on the oil tank (40) side of the pressure reducing fan (71) and which captures lubricating oil that has become a mist; and, on the downstream side of the pressure reducing fan (71), a exhaust unit (63s) which vents gas in the oil tank (40) to the outside.

A lubrication system for a hydraulically operated tool has a common lubricant supply manifold that receives a lubricant from one or more lubricant reservoirs. The common lubricant supply manifold includes an inlet port through which the lubricant is received and an exit port fluidly coupled with a lubricant supply line. The system also has a primer pump connected in fluid communication with the common lubricant supply manifold, a main lubricant supply pump, and a spring check valve downstream of the main lubricant supply pump. The lubricant supply line receives lubricant from the exit port and supplies the lubricant to the main lubricant supply pump. The main lubricant supply pump increases the pressure of the lubricant and pumps the lubricant through the spring check valve and into a fluid passageway leading to the hydraulically operated tool. A detune valve is in fluid communication with a hydraulic pump providing pressurized hydraulic fluid for the tool and the main lubricant supply pump, and the detune valve is actuated by pressure in the lubricant supply line.

A vehicle driveline component includes a housing defining an oil sump and a gear rotatably supported within the housing and at least partially in the oil sump. An oil aerating system is provided for introducing air bubbles into the oil sump through an air introduction passage. The air bubbles are directed at the ring gear and will reduce the effective density/viscosity of the oil, thereby reducing drag on the ring gear.
