US 2019/0316499 A1 · ENGINE OIL FILTRATION AND TEMPERATURE REGULATION ASSEMBLY

Abstract

An engine oil filtration and temperature regulation assembly (1) mountable on a vehicle engine fluidically connectable to an engine oil circulation system (1). The assembly includes an oil filtration group (2), a heat exchanger group (3) and a support and fluidic connection group (5) to engage to the engine and to support the filtration group (2) and the heat exchanger group (3). The group (5) includes a base plate (50) fluidically connected to receive and return oil from and to the engine. The group (5) includes a support and fluidic connection device (500), between the base plate (50) and the filtration group (2) and/or heat exchanger group (3) having a multi-layer assembly (510) having plate-shaped elements (5101, 5102, 5103, 5104, 5105, 5106) overlappable to constitute respective ducts to create a fluidic connection between the engine and oil filtration group (2) and/or heat exchanger group (3).
