The present disclosure discloses a lubricating method of a lubrication system of an engine. A first check valve unidirectionally leading to an oil chamber is arranged between a crankshaft chamber and the oil chamber; a first lubricating oil circuit that communicates the oil chamber and the cam chamber is arranged in the crankcase, and the cam chamber is communicated with an upper rocker arm chamber through a tappet hole; an oil pipe connected to the first lubricating oil circuit is arranged in the oil chamber; when the pressure in the crankshaft chamber is increased, the first check valve is opened, engine oil enters the oil chamber from the crankshaft chamber; and the pressure in the oil chamber is increased accordingly, the engine oil enters the first lubricating oil circuit and the cam chamber through the oil pipe for lubricating the cam chamber.

A lubrication system for an attritable engine includes a bearing chamber, a fluid filtering inlet configured to receive a fluid, and a fluid filtering outlet located downstream of the fluid filtering inlet and configured to deliver the fluid to the bearing chamber. The lubrication system also includes a lattice, integral and conformal with the attritable engine, configured to filter the fluid, and located between the fluid filtering inlet and the fluid filtering outlet. The lubrication system also includes a metering port, configured to meter the fluid and located downstream of the lattice and upstream of the fluid filtering outlet.

A method for controlling oil pressure in a controllable oil pump of an internal combustion engine system. A vehicle is arranged in communication with a control unit, the method comprising: receiving an indication of an upcoming vehicle operating situation affecting an operation of the ICE system; determining an expected change in the operation of the ICE system for the upcoming vehicle operating situation; determining a current oil pressure of the oil pump; and on the basis of said determined expected change in the operation of the ICE system and the determined current oil pressure of the oil pump, determining a minimum oil pressure for the oil pump for the upcoming vehicle operating situation.

An engine oil state control device for controlling a fuel mixture ratio of a fuel mixed in an engine oil of an engine on which a predetermined combustion control is performed includes comprising a fuel mixture ratio acquisition part configured to acquire the fuel mixture ratio, and an oil temperature rise control part configured to perform an oil temperature rise control for increasing an evaporation rate of the fuel mixed in the engine oil if the fuel mixture ratio is equal to or greater than a first threshold.

A rotary machine system includes a rotary electric machine, a rotary machine, a first supply line and a second supply line through which the lubricating oil is supplied to the rotary machine bearing, a first discharge line and a second discharge line through which the lubricating oil is discharged downward from the rotary machine bearing, and a lower discharge line through which the lubricating oil discharged from the first discharge line and the second discharge line flows toward a discharge destination. The lower discharge line has a first connecting portion connected to a lower end of the first discharge line and a second connecting portion connected to a lower end of the second discharge line, and extends such that the lubricating oil heads for the discharge destination through the first connecting portion from the second connecting portion.
