An oil supply system for a machine, such as for a power unit of a motor vehicle, with a module body made of plastic including a collection tank which is divided into a prechamber and a main chamber. A predelivery pump can extract oil from the prechamber and pump it into the main chamber, a main delivery pump can extract oil from the main chamber and pump it to the machine, and a return line can return oil from the machine to the prechamber and/or the main chamber. A power unit for a motor vehicle can include such an oil supply system, wherein a predelivery suction opening is arranged on the floor of the prechamber and a main delivery suction opening is arranged on the floor of the main chamber, and the power unit is configured to be mounted in the motor vehicle with an orientation such that a line running through the two suction openings is arranged approximately parallel to the transverse axis of the vehicle.

A main bearing housing for supporting a main rotor shaft of a wind turbine, wherein the main bearing housing defines a first end, a second end and a floor region intermediate the first and second ends. The main bearing housing comprises a first bearing arrangement positioned at the first end of the main bearing housing, a second bearing arrangement positioned at the second end of the main bearing housing, wherein the floor region includes a first oil sump positioned at the first bearing arrangement, and a second sump positioned at the second bearing arrangement. Advantageously, the embodiments of the invention provide that the bearings of the main bearing housing are lubricated by a lubrication system that includes sumps positioned at each of the fore and aft bearings of the main rotor shaft. The fore and aft bearings are therefore supplied with oil at suitable lubrication points and are part of the lubrication system that supplies oil to other components in the wind turbine that require oil lubrication, for example the gearbox and/or the generator bearings. The fore and aft bearings of the main bearing housing therefore do not require a separate lubrication system, such as a grease-based system and so the overall lubrication requirements for the nacelle are simplified.

A lubrication system for internal combustion engines, in particular for vehicles with a rideable saddle, said system comprising a crank chamber in which at least one connecting rod is accommodated, and a basin or pan for collecting a lubricating liquid, wherein said crank chamber and said collection basin or pan are put in mutual communication by means of a first opening obtained in said crank chamber, wherein the flow of said lubricating liquid through said first opening from said crank chamber into said basin is adjusted by means of a first adjusting element adapted to be switched to an open position so as to allow the discharge of said lubricating liquid from said crank chamber into said collection basin or pan at a predetermined switching gas pressure value inside said crank chamber.

The present disclosure describes an oil pan structure including a storing portion that stores oil for an internal combustion engine. The storing portion includes a shallow bottom portion, a deep bottom portion deeper than the shallow bottom portion, and a connection surface that connects the shallow bottom portion and the deep bottom portion between the shallow bottom portion and the deep bottom portion. A side wall is formed at a position facing the connection surface with the shallow bottom portion interposed between the side wall and the connection surface. A rib is formed on a back surface of the shallow bottom portion so as to extend from one side or another side of the side wall in a width direction of the shallow bottom portion toward an end portion of the connection surface on an opposite side in the width direction.

An oil tank system (100) for a gas turbine engine is provided. The oil tank system (100) includes an oil tank (102) having an upper tank portion (112) and a lower tank portion (114), a waisted section (118) being provided between the upper tank portion (112) and the lower tank portion (114). Oil is received by a de-aerator (104) of the system (100) which supplies de-aerated oil to the upper tank portion (112). The waisted section (118) includes an upper face (119) configured to catch oil drips from above the waisted section (118) and to guide oil to a lower face (121) of the waisted section (118).

Side surfaces of an end cam cap and a pair of side surfaces of a recess for cam cap form two cross-sectional area gradually changing gaps therebetween. A gasket is filled between an inner surface of the recess for cam cap and an outer surface of the end cam cap. The inner surface includes the side surfaces of the recess for cam cap and the outer surface includes the side surfaces of the end cam cap.

A double sump oil pan includes a separator made of plastic that partitions the interior of the oil pan into an inner sump and an outer sump, a plate, and an elastically deformable sealing member attached to the plate. The sealing member closely contacts the inner wall of the oil pan and seals the outer sump. The plate and the separator are fixed to each other.

An internal combustion engine, having a cylinder crankcase delimiting a crank chamber and a lubricant pan accommodating a lubricant sump, which has a lubricant pan upper part arranged between the crank chamber and the lubricant sump and a lubricant pan lower part fastened on the lubricant pan upper part. Multiple ridges originate from a base component of the lubricant pan upper part in the direction of the lubricant sump, which ridges partially intersect and thus form chambers which are peripherally closed in section between them, and lubricant passage openings formed in the lubricant pan upper part open into at least part of the chambers, via which openings the crank chamber and the lubricant sump are fluidically connected.

A preventing apparatus for concentrating oil of a vehicle includes: a chamber disposed in an oil pan to enclose the surrounding of an oil strainer and having both sides provided with through holes through which oil inflows and outflows; and an oil blocking module disposed to be spaced apart from the through holes in the chamber and operated in an opposite direction to a turning direction of the vehicle when the vehicle turns in order to block one of the through holes of the chamber.

An engine assembly includes an oil pan including an oil pan body defining a cavity. The oil pan body includes a dividing wall separating the cavity into a first compartment and a second compartment. The dividing wall defines a compartment opening extending therethrough, and the compartment opening fluidly interconnects the first compartment and the second compartment. The engine assembly also includes an oil pump at least partially disposed inside the first compartment of the oil pan. The oil pump includes a pump pickup conduit in fluid communication with the first compartment. The engine assembly additionally includes a temperature sensor disposed inside the pump pickup conduit of the oil pump. The temperature sensor can measure the temperature of oil flowing into the oil pump. In other words, the temperature sensor can sense the temperature of the oil pumped in the engine.
