An oil passage which supplies hydraulic oil to a cylinder deactivation apparatus (CDA) that operates by hydraulic pressure may include a high pressure passage, a low pressure passage, and an orifice, all of which may be integrally formed in either a cylinder head or a cam carrier. The high pressure passage may be connected to an oil supply apparatus and receive oil therefrom. The low pressure passage may be coupled to the high pressure passage and receive pressurized oil therefrom and form a low pressure relatively lower than a pressure in the high pressure passage. The low pressure passage may be connected to supply a hydraulic pressure to the CDA. The orifice may couple the high pressure passage to the low pressure passage, communicate the high pressure passage and the low pressure passage and may be formed to supply oil from the high pressure passage to the low pressure passage.

Provided is a method for preventing the accumulation of cylinder oil at scavenging ports of low-speed marine engines. An oil passage is provided on a cylinder wall inside a cylinder. The oil passage includes multiple oil storage grooves processed in a circumferential direction of the cylinder wall. The oil passage is formed by obliquely extending from the inner side of the cylinder wall to the outside of the cylinder in a radial direction of the cylinder. The scavenging ports are uniformly distributed in a circumferential direction of the cylinder wall, and each of the oil storage grooves is correspondingly processed at an upper portion of the scavenging port upper edge of the scavenging port. Each of the oil storage grooves has a shape matching the curved surface of the scavenging port upper edge.

A rotating separator including a filter element extending axially along a longitudinal axis and including a first endplate, a second endplate, and a separating element. The first endplate includes a center tube. The second endplate is coupled to the first endplate and includes a central aperture having a perimeter and receiving the center tube. The filter element also includes an axially extending slot and an axially extending protrusion positioned on one of the first endplate and the second endplate and configured to engage with each other. The first and second endplates form an interior cavity when coupled together. The rotating separator includes a filter structure positioned within the interior cavity.

A control device of an engine, the engine including: a piston contained in a cylinder; an intake passage communicated to a combustion chamber of the cylinder; an exhaust passage led from the combustion chamber; a fuel injection valve configured to inject fuel to the combustion chamber or the intake passage; and an ignition unit provided in the combustion chamber, includes: a low speed pre-ignition predicting unit configured to perform prediction of occurrence of low speed pre-ignition, based on operation condition of the engine; and a lubricating oil injection controlling unit configured to control a lubricating oil injecting device to inject lubricating oil to the piston or a member located around the piston, based on the prediction of the occurrence of the low speed pre-ignition performed by the low speed pre-ignition predicting unit.

A lubricating oil filter assembly is provided for an internal combustion engine that includes, but is not limited to a body provided with: an oil inlet, an oil outlet, a conduit connecting the oil inlet to the oil outlet, and a chamber suitable for accommodating a filter element, the chamber being in communication with the oil inlet and with the oil outlet. The lubricating oil filter assembly further includes, but is not limited to a valve assembly arranged within the conduit to enable a flow of lubricating oil in dependence of the pressure of the lubricating oil at the oil inlet.

A method comprising providing a first fluid, second fluid, and third fluid having a first kinematic viscosity and a first BN, a second kinematic viscosity and a second BN, and a third kinematic viscosity and a third BN respectively, obtaining data identifying (i) a target kinematic viscosity of a cylinder oil to be produced, (ii) a target BN of the cylinder oil to be produced, and (iii) the kinematic viscosity and the BN of each of the first, second, and third fluids. Based on at least the identified kinematic viscosity and BN, the method comprises determining a ratio of first, second, and third fluid to produce a cylinder oil having a kinematic viscosity corresponding to the target kinematic viscosity and/or a BN corresponding to the target BN, and blending the first, second, and third fluids in the determined ratio to produce the cylinder oil.
