Abstract(E)	This paper analyzes the lubrication system of a heavy-duty tractor driveline in different working conditions by means of a lumped parameter approach. The study highlights the critical areas of the hydraulic circuit that are not sufficiently lubricated and a new system setup is proposed to guarantee an adequate flow rates distribution. The numerical model of the lubrication system combines lumped elements with more complex user-defined components in order to address both the pressure losses due to the geometrical features of the circuit and the specific flow characteristics of the hydraulic components. The model considers several configurations of the system accounting for the rotation rate of the engine and the clutches engagement. The results are validated through experimental comparisons. Several critical issues are identified in terms of insufficient lubricant supplied to the utilities. Consequently, an optimized version of the system is proposed to reach any area of the driveline, thus ensuring the required flow rate at each component and preventing their early damaging. Therefore, this paper highlights the potential of the lumped parameter approach in evaluating the performance of an entire lubrication system and in addressing potential failures.

About search

How to use the search box

You can enter up to 5 search conditions. The number of search boxes can be increased or decreased with the "+" and "-" buttons on the right.

If you enter multiple words separated by spaces in one search box, the data that "contains all" of the entered words will be searched (AND search).

Example) X (space) Y → "X and Y (including)"

How to use "AND" and "OR" pull-down

If "AND" is specified, the "contains both" data of the phrase entered in the previous and next search boxes will be searched. If you specify "OR", the data that "contains" any of the words entered in the search boxes before and after is searched.

Example) X AND Y → "X and Y (including)" X OR Z → "X or Z (including)"

If AND and OR searches are mixed, OR search has priority.

Example) X AND Y OR Z → X AND (Y OR Z)

If AND search and multiple OR search are mixed, OR search has priority.

Example) W AND X OR Y OR Z → W AND (X OR Y OR Z)

How to use the search filters

Use the "search filters" when you want to narrow down the search results, such as when there are too many search results. If you check each item, the search results will be narrowed down to only the data that includes that item.

The number in "()" after each item is the number of data that includes that item.
