Question 64Motor Plants - 1st Asst/Chief
70% to passWhat type of engine lubrication oil filter system sends filtered oil directly to the high- pressure supply gallery?
The correct answer is A) shunt system. In a shunt system, the filtered oil is sent directly to the high-pressure supply gallery, which provides lubrication to the engine's critical components. This design ensures that the engine receives a continuous supply of filtered oil, improving the efficiency and reliability of the lubrication system. The other options are incorrect because: B) batch system refers to a system where oil is periodically removed for cleaning, C) centrifugal purifier system uses centrifugal force to remove contaminants from the oil, and D) bypass system diverts a portion of the oil flow around the filter, rather than sending the filtered oil directly to the supply gallery.
