öljykiertoon
Öljykiertoon refers to the circulation of oil within a system, typically an engine or a hydraulic system. This circulation is crucial for the proper functioning and longevity of the machinery. The oil serves multiple purposes as it flows. Firstly, it acts as a lubricant, reducing friction between moving parts. This minimizes wear and tear, preventing premature component failure. Secondly, oil helps to cool down components by absorbing and dissipating heat generated during operation. Without this cooling effect, parts could overheat, warp, or seize. Thirdly, the circulating oil can carry away contaminants, such as metal particles from wear or combustion byproducts, to filters where they are removed, maintaining the cleanliness of the system.
The oil is typically pumped from a reservoir and forced through a network of passages and channels
