Lubricating oil supply system for industrial engines

摘要

A lubricating oil supply system has a pump for automatically supplying lubricating oil from an oil tank to a crankcase of an engine through a passage. A bimetallic strip is cantilevered on a wall of the passage. The bimetallic strip is provided so as to reduce the cross-sectional area of the passage at the bimetallic strip when the temperature of the strip rises and to increase the cross-sectional area when the temperature lowers.
