Monitoring during operation
5.1
Lubricating oil pressure
CAUTION
Assuring lubricating oil pressure
Serious damage to the engine or property can result from a missing or insuf-
ficient lubricating oil supply.
u
The lubricating oil pressure must be monitored during operation and the
necessary pressure assured at the oil inlet.
For monitoring the lubricating oil pressure, Turbo Systems recommends installing a mano-
meter "M". If the pressure is controlled electronically, the relevant signals should be
triggered at the warning and alarm values.

1) If the drain pipe is vented, the oil temperature measuring point can be installed at the out-
let in the vent tank. Otherwise the measurement should be taken in the drain pipe as close to
the low-pressure and high-pressure stage as possible.
