A lubricant manifold includes a lubricant filter head, a pump inlet channel, an inlet transfer channel, and a lubricant cooler. The lubricant filter head is configured to be coupled to a lubricant filter. The pump inlet channel is fluidly coupled to the lubricant filter head and integrally formed with the lubricant filter head. The pump inlet channel is configured to receive a lubricant and provide the lubricant to the lubricant filter head. The inlet transfer channel is fluidly coupled to the lubricant filter head and integrally formed with the lubricant filter head and the pump inlet channel. The inlet transfer channel is configured to receive the lubricant from the pump inlet channel. The lubricant cooler is fluidly coupled to the inlet transfer channel and integrally formed with the lubricant filter head, the pump inlet channel, and the inlet transfer channel.

An oil distribution system uses an oil storage container to contain an air/oil separation unit, a heat exchanger, and an oil reservoir. The functions of oil storage, air/oil separation, and cooling are integrated in the container. Hot aerated oil enters the container at an air/oil separation unit. The air/oil separator deposits hot de-aerated oil into the oil reservoir. The oil reservoir transfers hot de-aerated oil to conduits in a heat exchanger. The heat exchanger uses fuel to cool the oil and warm the fuel. Cooled de-aerated oil is provided to a mechanical device for lubrication and warmed fuel is provided to power an engine. The container may alternatively receive hot aerated oil into the conduits in the heat exchanger. Cooled aerated oil is delivered to the air/oil separation unit to deposit cooled de-aerated oil into the reservoir. Cooled de-aerated oil is pumped to a mechanical device to provide lubrication.

A cast metallic adaptor for a filtering and cooling assembly that eliminates the needs for inserts or plugs and provides for direct threading of associated components to the adaptor. This construction also provides an enclosed flow path with a common axis for improved durability against burst pressure, heat and age degradation, and conditions related to cycling.

A one-piece cast metallic adaptor for an engine lubrication system that has threading in the casting to secure components to the one-piece cast metallic adaptor.

A system for circulating coolant including a coolant manifold and a coolant filter hosing. The oil cap and the oil transfer tube act in conjunction to redirect the oil flow. The coolant manifold is able to redirect coolant to the coolant filter and back into the system. The coolant filter is able to filter coolant in the system.

A one-piece cast metallic adaptor for an engine lubrication system that has threading in the casting to secure components to the one-piece cast metallic adaptor.

A dilution suppression device 1 consists of a container 11 that can hold lubricating oil O containing a fuel component of an engine, a lubricating oil injection section 12 that injects lubricating oil O into the container 11, an absorption section 13 that is provided inside the container 11 and can absorb lubricating oil O, an internal pressure reduction section 14 that reduces the internal pressure of the container, a heating section 15 that heats the lubricating oil O to separate the fuel component from the lubricating oil O, a gas introduction section 16 that introduces gas into the container 11, a fuel component discharge section 17 that discharges the fuel component from the container 11, and a lubricating oil discharge section 18 that discharges the lubricating oil O with the fuel component separated from the container 11.

Various methods and systems are provided for an oil filter system for a vehicle system. In one example, an oil filter system comprises a housing within which a plurality of oil filter elements are disposed and a frame supporting the housing, the frame including one or more mountings configured to support one or more vehicle sub-assemblies.

A hybrid propulsion system includes a heat engine configured to drive a heat engine shaft. An electric motor configured to drive a motor shaft. A transmission system is connected to receive rotational input power from each of the heat engine shaft and the motor shaft and to convert the rotation input power to output power. A first lubrication/coolant system is connected for circulating a first lubricant/coolant fluid through the heat engine. A second lubricant/coolant system in fluid isolation from the first lubrication/coolant system is connected for circulating a second lubricant/coolant fluid through the electric motor.
