4. This system supplies necessary air to
the engine for fuel combustion. It
consists of pipes for the supply of fresh
air to the engine manifold. Filters are
provided to remove dust particles from
air which may act as abrasive in the
engine cylinder.

12. COOLING SYSTEM

14. Air Cooling system

15. Lubricating System
The system minimises the wear of rubbing surfaces of the engine.
It comprises of lubricating oil tank, pump, filter and oil cooler. The lubrication
oil is drawn from the lubricating oil tank by the pump and is passed through
filter to remove impurities .The clean lubrication oil is delivered to the points
which require lubrication. The oil coolers incorporated in the system keep
the temperature of the oil low.
