Abstract
There is described a method and an installation for lubricating cylinder surfaces 6 in large diesel engines. The installation includes a lubricating apparatus 3 with a number of piston pumps 4 which via connecting lines 5 are connected with lubricating points 6 in the cylinder walls 7. In order to enable electronically controlled regulation of the lubricating oil portion, there is provided an electronic control unit 9 which is connected with a flow regulator 8. The flow regulator includes redirecting valves 12 which are inserted in connecting lines 5 between the lubricating apparatus 3 and the lubricating points 6.
