Oil supply system for gas engines
The latest generation of oil supply system – type IDEAL
Oil supply system IDEAL for supplying fresh oil and disposing of used oil on large gas engines of gas generator systems.
- This Oil supply facilities include Krampitz-specific 2-way oil pumps (type ZP-G) and one electronic safety control for monitoring oil change processes and oil storage.
- The storage tanks are double-walled steel tanks (Type TTD) with vacuum leak monitoring.
- The system covers everything Requirements of the Water Resources Act .
- The tanks have one building law approval from DiBt.

Diesel and gas engines
Diesel and gas engines continually consume engine oil. Professional oil supply to diesel and gas engines is carried out automatically using two oil refilling methods.
- An electronic oil level measurement on the engine opens an inlet solenoid valve on the oil pan when the level falls below the level using an electronic refill control and starts the fresh oil supply pump on the fresh oil tank with a time delay. The oil pan is filled directly. When the maximum level is reached, the electronic control stops the fresh oil supply pump and closes the inlet solenoid valve.
- With the second supply method, an elevated fresh oil day tank is connected between the engine oil pan and the fresh oil tank. This fresh oil daily tank with a volume of 100-500 liters is automatically filled by the fresh oil pump on the fresh oil tank using an electronic refill control. If the oil level in the engine oil pan falls below the level, the electronic engine control opens the inlet solenoid valve and the fresh oil from the higher day tank slowly flows into the oil pan due to the static pressure. When the maximum fill level in the engine oil pan is reached, the inlet solenoid valve closes. The oil refill is finished. This is a very safe and trouble-free method.
The engine oil is changed by the operating or service personnel directly on the machine. The used oil is either pumped to the used oil tank by an engine's own pre-lubrication pump after opening the drain ball valves, or an automatic used oil extraction station is installed directly on the machine. After opening the drain ball valve, this system sucks the used oil out of the engine oil pan and automatically ends the suction process using a minimum level switch in the used oil suction station (OSP). The drain ball valve on the machine is then closed and the fresh oil filling can begin.
The fresh oil pump on the fresh oil tank fills the engine oil pan until the electronic max fill level switch switches off the fresh oil pump. You can then switch to normal operation.
There are also mechanical float-operated automatic intake systems, but these systems do not work 100% trouble-free.
