A Study on the Aeration Mechanism in the Engine Lubrication System

엔진 윤활 시스템에 있어서 Aeration 발생 Mechanism연구

In development process of engine lubrication system, many failure cases are related with aeration problem. Therefore, it is very important to clarify the aeration in the engine oil circuit system. As of today, many factors have been introduced as the major cause in the engine oil aeration. However, still many test data related with those are required to clearly understand it. In this paper the aeration measurement system and calculation method are introduced. And also using this system we measured engine oil aeration fur various cases. From these results some conclusions are reduced.
