With a history of innovation and a commitment to sustainability, Cummins serves customers in approximately 190 countries and territories through a network of more than 600 company-owned and independent distributor facilities and more than 7,200 dealer locations.

Integration with Base Parts

In the foundational structure of the engine, the Tube Oil Transfer connects to the base parts, facilitating the smooth transfer of oil. This connection is vital for maintaining consistent oil levels and pressure within the engine, which is essential for the lubrication of moving parts and the reduction of friction.

Interaction with Cooler Lubricating Oil Mounting Filter

The Tube Oil Transfer plays a significant role when integrated with the Cooler Lubricating Oil Mounting Filter. This assembly is responsible for cooling the lubricating oil before it is circulated back into the engine. The Tube Oil Transfer ensures a steady flow of oil to the filter, enhancing the cooling process and prolonging the oil’s effectiveness.

Coordination with Lubricating Oil Filter

In conjunction with the Lubricating Oil Filter, the Tube Oil Transfer aids in the filtration process. It delivers oil to the filter, where contaminants are removed, ensuring that only clean oil is recirculated within the engine. This collaboration is key to maintaining the engine’s efficiency and preventing wear on internal components.

Connection to Mounting Lubricating Oil Cooler F

The Tube Oil Transfer is also essential in its connection to the Mounting Lubricating Oil Cooler F. This component is designed to further cool the oil after it has been filtered. The Tube Oil Transfer ensures a continuous and regulated flow of oil to the cooler, which is critical for maintaining the oil’s viscosity and performance characteristics.

Role in Plumbing and Oil Cooler Water System

In the broader context of the engine’s plumbing system, the Tube Oil Transfer is a key conduit for oil movement. It interfaces with the Oil Cooler Water system, where oil and water interact in a heat exchange process. The Tube Oil Transfer’s role here is to maintain a consistent flow of oil, ensuring efficient heat dissipation and maintaining the oil at an optimal temperature for engine operation.

Conclusion

The Tube Oil Transfer 180774 is a vital component in the intricate network of engine systems. Its role in facilitating the movement and regulation of lubricating oil is essential for the overall health and performance of the engine.
