4.4.1 Designing a good lubrication circuit
The lubrication circuit path chosen within the engine bay needs to
ensure that oil
temperature at the inlet of the supercharger never exceeds 80°C (176°F) as higher inlet
oil temperature will damage the supercharger.
Therefore, it is advised to locate the cooling
elements (main cooler and canister) in well ventilated location. The oil cooler alone should
be able to cool the oil sufficiently.
The supercharger must be positioned above all oil system components (filter, canister, oil
cooler and oil lines) to prevent any potential oil leakage from the supercharger
.
Remember
that the canister needs to be accessible for service and maintenance purposes.
When routing the oil lines, care must be taken to prevent kinks, rubbing and cuts on the
oil lines since leakage could result in permanent damage of supercharger system and/or
other systems in the vehicle. To avoid problems, follow these specifications:
Oil Cicuit Installation Example
Canister:
Below SC
Filter:
Between
canister and
SC oil inlet
Oil Cooler:
Between SC outlet
and canister, with
access to cooling air
Oil lines:
Good routing, no
contact with sharp
edges or hot
components
