Splash system:
- Used in light-duty, slow-speed engines (<250 rpm)
- Lubricating oil is stored at the bottom of the engine crankcase and maintained at a predetermined level.
- The oil is drawn by the pump and delivered through a distributing pipe into the splash trough located under the big end of all the connecting rods.
- These troughs are provided with overflows and oil in the trough is therefore kept at a constant level.
- A splasher or dipper is provided under each connecting rod cap which dips into oil in the trough at every revolution of the crankshaft and the oil is splashed all over the interior of the crankcase, into the pistons, and onto the exposed portion of cylinder walls.
- The oil dripping from the cylinder is collected in the sump where it is cooled by the air flowing around. The cooled air is then recirculated.
- A splash system of lubrication is employed for the camshafts, piston rings, and tappets.
