2. Oil pump (internal combustion engine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_pump_(internal...

   Placing the oil pump low-down uses a near-vertical drive shaft, driven by helical skew gears from the camshaft. Some engines, such as the Fiat Twin Cam engine of 1964, began as OHV engines with an oil pump driven from a conventional camshaft in the cylinder block. When the twin overhead cam engine was developed, the previous oil pump ...

3. Dry sump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_sump

   The oil collects in sump (1), is withdrawn continuously by scavenge pump (2) and travels to the oil tank (3), where gases entrained in the oil separate and the oil cools. Gases (6) are returned to the engine sump. Pressure pump (4) forces the de-gassed and cooled oil (5) back to the engine's lubrication points (7).

4. Crankcase ventilation system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crankcase_ventilation_system

   Dry sump engines in some drag racing cars use scavenging pumps to extract oil and gases from the crankcase. [18] A separator removes the oil, then the gases are fed into the exhaust system via a venturi tube. [citation needed]. This system maintains a small amount of vacuum in the crankcase and minimises the amount of oil in the engine that ...

5. Automatic lubrication system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_lubrication_system

   An automatic lubrication system consists of a reservoir with a pump, feed lines, metering valves, and injectors. The automatic lubrication system is connected to a control system via switchs. The control system may involve human input or may be computerised (computer numerical control or CNC). [2] [3]

6. List of valves - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_valves

   Rotary valves and piston valves: parts of brass instruments used to change their pitch; Rotolock valve; Rupture disc: a one-time-use replaceable valve for rapid pressure relief, used to protect piping systems from excessive pressure or vacuum; more reliable than a safety valve; Saddle valve: where allowed, is used to tap a pipe for a low-flow need

7. Pumpjack - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumpjack

   A diagram of a pumpjack. A pumpjack is the overground drive for a reciprocating piston pump in an oil well. [1]It is used to mechanically lift liquid out of the well if there is not enough bottom hole pressure for the liquid to flow all the way to the surface.
