In this system, oil is supplied from an external tank. The oil pump draws oil from the supply tank and circulates it under pressure to various bearings of the engine. The oil dripping from the cylinders and bearings into the sump is removed by a scavenging pump and is returned to the supply tank through the filter. The capacity of the scavenging pump is greater than the oil pump. A separate oil cooler is used to remove heat from oil using either air or water (Figure 3.13).

Oil cooler – this is to control the oil temperature and prevent engine damage. Typical oil temperatures in degrees Celsius are: road car 100–120; high performance car 120–150; race car 150 plus. The oil cooler must be fitted in a place where cold air flows freely – often this is just in the form of the engine coolant (water) radiator. The flow of oil through the cooler may be controlled by a thermostat. The oil flow is usually in series with the oil filter.

The circulator also requires a bearing oil circulating and cooling system to be designed and provided by the circulator manufacturer. The oil circulating system will use an oil pump, oil filter, and oil cooler to maintain acceptable bearing lubrication and temperature.64
