## Abstract

A valve (10) is described for use in oil injection of an oil mist (8) for lubricating/flushing cylinders in large engines and arranged with mounting means (14) for fastening in a cylinder wall (2) with a valve stem (12, 13) extending through the cylinder wall and with a nozzle outlet (6) at the inner end of the valve stem. A valve is made, the spray direction of which may be adjusted after mounting. Therefore, the valve is peculiar in that the nozzle outlet (6) is disposed in the inner valve stem part (13) which is rotatable relative to an outer valve stem part (12) . The outer valve stem part (12) is fastened to or made as an integral part of the mounting means (14).

## Claims

### Claim 1

Valve for use in injecting oil for lubricating or flushing cylinders in large engines and arranged with mounting means for fastening in a cylinder wall with a valve stem extending through the cylinder wall, and with at least one nozzle outlet at the inner end of the valve stem, wherein the at least one nozzle outlet is disposed in the inner valve stem part which is rotatable relative to an outer valve stem part, and that the outer valve stem part is fastened to or made as an integral part of the mounting means, wherein stubs for oil supply to the valve and oil discharge from the valve are disposed in the rotatable valve stem part.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

Valve according to claim 1, characterised in that the rotatable valve stem part includes two annular clamping faces disposed at each side of an annular flange on the outer valve stem part, and which is provided with means for clamping the clamping faces against the flange for securing mutual position of the two valve stem parts.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

Valve according to claim 1, characterised in that at the least one nozzle outlet is provided for forming one or more injection jets or oil mists transversely of the valve stem.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

Valve according to claim 1, characterised in that the at least one nozzle outlet is provided for forming one or more injection jets or oil mists oriented symmetrically relatively to the valve stem.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

Valve according to claim 1, characterised in that it includes an oil filter.

### Claim 6

Valve for use in injecting oil for lubricating or flushing cylinders in large engines and arranged with mounting means for fastening in a cylinder wall with a valve stem extending through the cylinder wall, and with at least one nozzle outlet at the inner end of the valve stem, wherein the at least one nozzle outlet is disposed in the inner valve stem part which is rotatable relative to an outer valve stem part, and that the outer valve stem part is fastened to or made as an integral part of the mounting means, wherein the mounting means includes a bushing provided with external screw thread and with an inner bore for rotatable accommodation of the inner valve stem part.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

Valve according to claim 6, characterised in that the rotatable valve stem part includes two annular clamping faces disposed at each side of an annular flange on the outer valve stem part, and which is provided with means for clamping the clamping faces against the flange for securing mutual position of the two valve stem parts.

### Claim 8 (depends on 6)

Valve according to claim 6, characterised in that at the least one nozzle outlet is provided for forming one or more injection jets or oil mists transversely of the valve stem.

### Claim 9 (depends on 6)

Valve according to claim 6, characterised in that the at least one nozzle outlet is provided for forming one or more injection jets or oil mists oriented symmetrically relatively to the valve stem.

### Claim 10 (depends on 6)

Valve according to claim 6, characterised in that it includes an oil filter.
