A lubrication arrangement for a supercharger (16) of an engine (10) is disclosed. The arrangement includes a lubricant feed conduit (44) adapted to connect between a lubricant supply port (48) associated with the engine (10) and a lubricant inlet (56) associated with the supercharger (16) and a lubricant return conduit (46) adapted to connect between a lubricant outlet (58) associated with said supercharger and a lubricant return port (60) associated with the engine 10. The lubricant feed (44) and return (46) conduits are fixed together at one or more points into a one-piece conduit assembly (42), the assembly (42) having integrated therewith a heat shield (64) that screens at least one and preferably both of the conduits (44, 46) along at least a part of their respective lengths. <IMAGE> |
