The present invention relates to the automotive industry in general and to the internal-combustion-engine manufacturing industry in particular. The invention relates to a novel device, which, when added to internal combustion engines, lubricates the moving parts of the turbocharger when the engine is not running and until the turbocharger stops. The advantages of the present invention as compared with those of the prior art are that the operation thereof does not adversely affect the normal lubrication operation and ensures lubrication of the bearings of the turbine and of the compressor of the turbocharger; the invention may be fitted to any type of machinery that comprises a turbocharger and that may stop running unexpectedly; with modifications to the dimensions and mechanical features of one or two parts, it is possible to adapt the system to the conditions and features of different engines, there being no need for an additional pumping means to achieve operation thereof. Structurally, the system is characterized in that it comprises a reservoir with a deformable means therewithin that deforms with the intake of lubricant and retains potential energy that is released and impels the lubricant from the reservoir to the engine components to be lubricated when a remotely controlled valve is energized and opens. |
