Effects of Insufficient Lubrication

Effects of Insufficient Lubrication Points : effects of insufficient lubrication, mechanical problems of i.c. engines, problems in internal combustion engines, ic, engine, auto diesel The lubrication system is one of the most vital elements of the high-speed engine; if the oil supply to the working parts is stopped the engine will seize up after a short time. The modern engine contain relatively large number of components rotating, sliding or reciprocating at very high speeds, and in attaining these speeds with engines which are light and compact, the hearing loads and rubbing velocities used are much higher than other engines and machine practice. It is therefore essential for these parts to be kept well lubricated and that the lubricating system must be absolutely reliable. In passing, if may be mentioned that the majority of engine mechanical breakdown may be traced to failure of lubrication, and that the greater wear in the working parts of some engines is usually due to their insufficient oil systems.
