At an ambient temperature of 40°C, the viscosity of the fluid in the hydraulic system decreases sharply, which leads to its deviation from the system connections exceeding the permissible level. Due to the high temperature, the heated oil in the engine crankcase is pushed out of the breather, aggregates, joint surfaces, oil seals and bearing covers. The article analyzes the influence of ambient temperature on the consumption of fuel and lubricants,as well as the causes of contamination of fuel and lubricants.
