- Chapter 7: Aircraft Systems › Oil Systems
Oil Systems The engine oil system performs several important functions: • Lubrication of the engine’s moving parts • Cooling of the engine by reducing friction • Removing heat from the cylinders • Providing a seal between the cylinder walls and pistons • Carrying away ... contaminants Figure 7-17. Wet-sump oil system. Reciprocating engines use either a wet-sump or a dry-sump oil system. In a wet-sump system, the oil is located in a sump that is an integral part…
- Chapter 2: Engine Fuel & Fuel Metering Systems › Basic Fuel System
During starting, the boost pump forces fuel through a bypass in the engine-driven pump to the metering device. Once the engine-driven pump is rotating at sufficient speed, it takes over and delivers fuel to the metering device ... specified pressure. The airframe fuel system begins with the fuel tank and ends at the engine fuel system. The engine fuel system usually includes the engine-driven pumps and the fuel metering systems. In aircraft powered with a reciprocating engine…

Then, a line must be disconnected, or an opening made in the oil system at the nose of the engine, to allow oil to flow out of the engine. Oil flowing out of the engine indicates the completion ... oiling operation, since the oil has now passed through the entire system. Figure 8-12. Pre-oiler tank. In order to force oil from the pre-oiler tank through the engine, apply air pressure to the oil in the tank…
