Question

Splash system is suitable for high and medium speed engines having moderate bearing load pressures.

(a) True

(b) False

I have been asked this question in an international level competition.

My question comes from Classification of Lubricating System in section Engine Friction and Lubrication of IC Engine

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

(a) True

The splash lubrication system is indeed suitable for high and medium-speed engines that experience moderate bearing load pressures. This system relies on the movement of engine parts (such as the crankshaft) to splash oil onto the components, making it effective for engines with moderate power demands. However, it is less suitable for engines with high bearing loads or high-speed conditions, where more advanced lubrication systems like pressure systems are preferred.
