Oil temperature and pressure
35. It is essential for correct and safe operation of the engine that accurate indication is obtained of both the temperature and pressure of the oil. Temperature and pressure transmitters and indicators are illustrated in fig 12-9.
36. Oil temperature is sensed by a
temperature- sensitive element fitted in the oil system. A change
in temperature causes a change in the resistance value and,
consequently, a corresponding change in the current flow at the
indicator. The indicator pointer is deflected by an amount
equivalent to the temperature change and this is recorded on
the gauge in degrees centigrade.
37. Oil pressure is electrically transmitted to an indicator on the instrument panel. Some installations use a flag-type indicator, which indicates if the pressure is high, normal or low; others use a dial- type gauge calibrated in pounds per square inch (p.s.i.).
