70% to passWhat type of engine lubrication oil filter system sends filtered oil directly to the high- pressure supply gallery?
Acentrifugal purifier system
Bbypass system
Cshunt system
Dbatch system
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) shunt system. In a shunt system, the engine lubrication oil filter sends the filtered oil directly to the high-pressure supply gallery, bypassing the oil pump. This ensures that the critical engine components receive a consistent supply of clean, filtered oil, which is essential for proper lubrication and engine performance. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) A centrifugal purifier system is used for fuel or lubricating oil purification, not for direct oil filtration. B) A bypass system filters oil but does not send it directly to the high-pressure supply gallery. D) A batch system is a method of oil analysis and monitoring, not a type of oil filtration system.
