PREAMBLE TO THE DESCRIPTION
The following specification particularly describes the invention and the manner in which it is to be performed:

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates generally to diesel power generating sets and more
particularly, to a system that enhances the engine oil replacement intervals in such diesel power generating sets.
DESCRIPTION OF THE BACKGROUND ART
[0002] A diesel power generating set is primarily constructed of a diesel engine that is
operably connected with an alternator to generate electrical energy. Diesel power generating sets are used as emergency power supply equipments in places where continues supply of electric current is not available to run machinery and devices. Specifically, in telecom applications, diesel power generating sets are used for running mobile towers. The mobile towers are generally powered by 'Electricity Board' supply however in the absence of 'Electricity Board' supply at many sites mobile towers are powered by Battery banks. These batteries need to be charged constantly as soon as they are drained as a result of electrical energy consumption. Diesel generating sets are used to charge this Battery banks. In addition, diesel generating sets also serve to run air conditioner & other equipments available in a shelter near the Tower.
[0003] It is known that the engine oil present within the diesel engines is used for
lubricating various moving parts of the diesel engine unit and also for providing lubrication so that the wear and tear is less and the components become durable. Most of the diesel power generating sets used in the industry is recommended to change the engine oil after every 300hrs to 600hrs. This is essential because after prolonged operation, the engine oil becomes contaminated and starts losing its inherent properties that allows lubrication and heat dissipation. In order to provide service of changing engine oil after the recommended hours, service personnel are sent to the respective locations/sites to check and replace the engine oil. A

disadvantage associated here is that the service personnel have to regularly visit the sites which if located at a good distance make the job of personnel quite cumbersome. Additionally, for every visit there is a cost associated and the owners of the diesel power generating sets have to shell out money for every visit the personnel makes for checking and replacing the engine oil. Keeping in view of these inherent disadvantages of the diesel power generating sets, customers have begun asking for generating sets in which the engine oil replacement could take place after relatively long intervals.
[0004] The above noted problem becomes aggravated in cases where the sites are located
in remote areas such as hilly terrains and areas having unfriendly landscapes. As these remote areas have telecom sites, service personnel have to discharge their services to these sites irrespective of the conditions and the frequency of their visit.
[0005] Some of the manufacturers have tried to address the above noted problems by
providing 'Oil Service Extension Kits' that are ready to be installable within the diesel power generating sets or are preinstalled within the diesel power generating sets. The kit includes an external oil reservoir that is connectable to the main engine oil sump through an oil regulator. The external oil reservoir is generally mounted at a height on the diesel generating set and connected to the main oil sump through the regulator that regulates the flow of engine oil. However, solution provided by such kits has its own inherent disadvantages primarily to due to the complexity of the regulator as it is constructed from numerous mechanical components. Such Cost of such regulators is also high raising the total cost of the kit as well as the diesel power generating sets.

[0006] Thus, there is a need to develop a system within the diesel power generating set
that addresses at least some of the above problems and enhances engine oil replacement intervals.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0021] FIG. 1 shows a sectional view of a diesel power generating set 100 according to
an embodiment of the present invention. The power generating set 100 primarily includes an engine side 102 and an alternator side 104 each of which are disposed within a housing 106 of the power generating set 100. The engine side 102 includes an engine unit 108, whereas the

alternator side 104 includes an alternator unit 110. Both the engine unit 108 and the alternator unit 110 are mounted over their corresponding platforms 112 that are elevated to a predetermined distance from a base surface 114 of the housing 106 as seen in FIG. 1. A control panel 116 is operably connectable to the alternator unit 110 and the engine unit 108 and accessible from outside by an operator (not shown) for controlling various operating parameters of the power generating set 100. The engine unit 108 also includes a radiator 118 for providing heat dissipation from the engine unit 108 and an exhaust pipe 120 for exhausting flue gases out of the diesel power generating set 100.
[0022] FIGS. 2 and 3 show top and bottom perspective views of the engine unit 108
mounted over the platform 112 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The platform 112 is designed to have several sections 122 within which an oil sump 124 and a pair of auxiliary oil reservoirs 126, explained below, are securely held. A diesel operated engine (not shown) is mounted on top of the platform 112. The oil sump 124 is positioned below the diesel operated engine and connected therewith in known manner. As seen in FIG. 4, the oil sump 124 is constructed of a top surface 128, a bottom surface 130 and an engine oil retaining body formed between the top surface 128 and the bottom surface 130. The oil sump 124 is designed to retain a predetermined volume of engine oil when the engine oil supplied within the oil sump 124. The engine oil is supplied through the top surface 128 of the oil sump 124.
[0023] Additionally, as seen in FIG. 4, a dipstick 132 having a pair of parallel indicators
134 (a lower indicator and an upper indicator) marked thereon. The lower indicator 134 represents a minimum amount of engine oil available within the oil sump 124, whereas the upper indicator 134 represents a maximum amount of engine oil available within the oil sump 124. The volume of the available engine oil present between the lower and upper indicators 134 represents

'effective engine oil level' available within the oil sump 124. In order to check the actual engine oil level within the oil sump 124, when the generator set is in operating condition, the operator takes out the dipstick 132 from the oil sump 124 and correlates the marking of actual engine oil level on the dipstick 132 with the indicators 134. If it is ascertained that the engine oil level within the oil sump 124 is approaching the lower indicator 134, the oil sump 124 is replenished with a fresh predetermined supply of the engine oil.
[0024] As seen in FIG. 4, the oil sump 124 further includes a pump 136 and a strainer
138 operably connected to each other. The pump 136 forcefully pushes the engine oil through the strainer 138. The engine oil that is received within the strainer 138 is further transmitted to a plurality of interconnected passageways (not shown) internally formed within engine unit 108 and openable in proximal areas of the diesel engine such as moving components, gears, bearings, etc., (not shown) to dispense the forced circulated engine oil at these locations. Portions of the passageways may also be exposed to boundary walls of a cylinder jacket (not shown). The dispensed engine oil primarily performs twofold functions- heat dissipations and lubrication. The plurality of passageways is also arranged with the oil sump 124 in such a manner that the dispensed oil is returned back to the oil sump 124. A skilled person in the art would note that the plurality of passageways and the oil sump 124 form a closed-loop engine oil circuit as a result of the above connection.
[0025] FIG. 5 shows a detailed constructional view of a general union bolt 140 according
to an embodiment of the present invention. The union bolt 140 is shown to have an elongated hollow body 142 extending between a head 144 and a tail end 146. The union bolt 140 has a first plurality of holes 148 formed on a portion thereof adjacent to the head 144. Further, a second plurality of holes 150 is formed on a portion of the union bolt 140 adjacent to the tail end 146.

The first and the second plurality of holes 150 are preferably equally spaced and formed radially on the union bolt 140. A thread 152 is also formed between the head 144 and the tail end 146 in a manner shown in FIG. 5. Further, a magnet 154 that is formed of an appropriate magnetic material is also attached to a tail end surface 156 of the union bolt 140.
[0026] Referring back to FIGS. 3 and 4, a first union bolt 158, having similar
construction as that of the above noted union bolt 140 is shown to be insertable within the oil sump 124 through an opening formed in the bottom surface 130 of the oil sump 124. The first union bolt 158 is inserted within the opening and fastened to the bottom surface 130 via the threads. As seen in FIG. 4, the tail end 146 having the magnet 154 attached thereto along with the second plurality of holes 150 is positioned within the oil sump 124 whereas, the head 144 along with the first plurality of holes 148 are exposed outside the oil sump 124. When the oil sump 124 is filled with the engine oil, the magnet 154 ensures that any contaminant 160, having magnetic properties, which may be present within the engine oil, is attracted towards the magnet 154. Preferably, a first coupler 162 as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 is coupled to the exposed first union bolt 158 portion in known manner. The first coupler 162 is formed to have a circular profile and includes a radial internal passageway (not shown) formed within an internal surface (not shown) of the first coupler 162. Further, the first coupler 162 also has two outlets 164 formed on an outside surface 166 of the first coupler 162 and interconnected to the internal passageway thereof. The first coupler 162 is coupled to the exposed portion in such a manner that the internal passageway matches the first plurality of holes 148 of the first union bolt 158. The engine oil, when available within the oil sump 124, enters the elongated hollow body 142 of the first union bolt 158 through the second plurality of holes 150. The engine oil further enters

within the first coupler 162 through the first plurality of holes 148 of the first union bolt 158 and the internal passageway of the first coupler 162.
[0027] FIGS. 3-4 also show a pair of auxiliary oil reservoirs 126 disposed below the
engine unit 108 and positioned adjacent to the oil sump 124 along a horizontal plane, according to another embodiment of the present invention. Preferably, each of the auxiliary oil reservoirs 126 is securely held below the platform 112 within a corresponding section 122 of the platform 112 with the help of angles 168 and fasteners 170 as shown in FIG. 3. Each of the auxiliary oil reservoirs is mounted and adjusted with respect to the oil sump 124 that the oil sump 124 and each of the auxiliary oil reservoirs 126, when filled with engine oil, have their corresponding maximum and minimum levels of available engine oil at equal heights from the base surface of the generator set (See FIG. 4). Further, the distance between the minimum and maximum levels of each of the auxiliary oil reservoirs 126 and the oil sump 124 is also equal. Preferably, both the auxiliary oil reservoirs 126 when mounted below the platform 112 face the two orthogonal sides 186 of the oil sump 124 (see FIGS. 3 and 4). Further, one of the auxiliary oil reservoirs 126 is positioned in an existing space between the radiator 118 and the base surface 114. As a result, the auxiliary oil reservoirs 126 easily fit within the available space. It should be noted that the above relative arrangement of the auxiliary oil reservoirs 126 with the oil sump 124 is very critical and achieving equal heights of the maximum and minimum engine oil levels therein is dependent on several parameters. The parameters are like designing the oil sumps 124 and auxiliary oil reservoirs 126, properly designing the angle so as to have correct dimensions, shape, and size. Further, by properly adjusting the angles 168, the height of the auxiliary oil reservoirs 126 could be adjusted so as to allow the maximum and minimum engine oil levels available therein to be at the same height as that of the oil sump 124. Both the auxiliary oil reservoirs 126

also have an outlet 172 formed on their respective top surfaces 174. Through the outlet 172 the auxiliary oil reservoirs 126 can be cleaned for maintenance purposes when required.
[0028] Preferably, both the auxiliary oil reservoirs 126 are constructed to have similar
shapes and size and are capable of holding equal predetermined volume of engine oil when filled. Preferably, the auxiliary oil reservoirs 126 are designed to retain a predetermined volume of engine oil that could allow the lubricating and heat dissipation needs of the power generating set 100 for approximately 1000 hours. However, it would be understood by a skilled person that the requirement of 1000 hours is not limiting to the invention. In another embodiment of the present invention, more than two reservoirs may also be used for enhancing the operating hours of the engine oil level and should be considered to be within the scope of the present invention.
[0029] FIGS. 3 and 4 also show a second union bolt 176 and a third union bolt 178, each
of which having similar construction as that of the first union bolt 158, insertable within the corresponding auxiliary oil reservoirs 126 through an opening formed within their bottom surfaces. Both the second and third union bolts 176, 178 are inserted within their respective openings and fastened to the bottom surfaces via the threads 164 formed on the second and third union bolts 176, 178. In a similar manner as the first union bolt 158 is arranged within the oil sump 124, the heads 144 and the first plurality of holes 148 of each of the second and the third union bolts 176, 178 are exposed outside the auxiliary oil reservoirs 126, respectively.
[0030] In FIGS. 3 and 4, a second coupler 180 and a third coupler 182 is shown to be
coupled with the exposed portions of the second union bolt 176 and the third union bolt 178, respectively, in known manner. Similar to the constructional features of the first coupler 162, the second and third couplers 180, 182 also include the radial internal passageway formed internally but having only one outlet 184 instead of two outlets 164 of the first coupler 162. The second

and third couplers 180, 182 are coupled to the exposed portions in such a manner that their radial internal passageways match the first plurality of holes 148 of the respective second and third union bolts 176, 178. The engine oil when available within each of the auxiliary oil reservoirs 126 have a tendency to enter the elongated hollow body 142 of the second union bolt 176 and the third union bolt 178, respectively, through their second plurality of holes 150 and finally within the second and third couplers 180, 182, respectively, through the interconnected first plurality of holes 148 of the second and third union bolts 176, 178 and the internal passageways of the second and third couplers 180, 182.
[0031] FIGS. 3 and 4 also show a pair of hose pipes 186 extending between a pair of
opposite ends and capable of being connected to between the oil sump 124 and the auxiliary oil reservoirs 126 to transfer the engine oil from the oil sump 124 to the auxiliary oil reservoirs 126. One of the ends 188 of one hose pipe 186 is connectable to one of the outlets 164 of the first coupler 162 whereas, one of the ends 190 of the other hose pipe 186 is connected to the other of the outlet 164 of the first coupler 162. An opposite end 192 of one hose pipe 186 is connectable to the outlet 184 of the second coupler 180 that is coupled with the second union bolt 176. Whereas, an opposite end 194 of the other hose pipe 186 is connectable to the outlet 184 of the third coupler 182 coupled to the third union bolt 178. The hose pipes 186 are easily adjustable within the space available between the base surface 114 of the power generating set 100 and the bottom surfaces of the auxiliary oil reservoirs 126 (see FIGS. 3 and 4).
[0032] When a predetermined supply of the engine oil is supplied within the oil sump
124, the engine oil initially occupies a bottom space of the oil sump 124 and further starts entering the elongated hollow body 142 of the first union bolt 158 via the second plurality of holes 150 formed adjacent to a portion of the tail end 146. The engine oil entered within the

hollow elongated body finds way into both the hose pipes 186 through the passageways and both the outlets 164 of the first coupler 162. When sufficient engine oil is supplied within the oil sump 124, the liquid pressure of the engine oil builds up and as a result of that the engine oil simultaneously enters both the second coupler 180 and the third coupler 182 via their respective outlets 184. Finally, the engine oil is received within both the auxiliary oil reservoirs 126 through their respective first and second plurality of holes 148, 150. It would be understood that once the fluid pressure of the engine oil becomes equal in each of the oil sump 124 and the auxiliary oil reservoirs 126, the level of engine oil therein rises simultaneously when the engine oil is further filled within the oil sump 124. As noted above, the engine oil consumed when the generator is in operation finds source only from the oil sump 124. However, in accordance with the principle of fluid transmission, the level of the engine oil within each of the oil sump 124 and the auxiliary oil reservoirs 126 is depleted equally and simultaneously.
[0033] As the operation of the power generating set 100 continues and the circulation of
the engine oil prolongs, any contaminants 160 that may be collected by the engine oil from the moving engine parts in proximal areas of the diesel engine may find way within the oil sump 124. The contaminants 160, mostly in the form of particles having magnetic properties, may also enter the pair of auxiliary oil reservoirs 126 through the hose pipes 186. Such a possibility is prevented due to the magnets 154 attached to the tail end 146 of the first union bolt 158 inserted within the oil sump 124. However, even if some of the contaminants 160 enter the auxiliary oil reservoirs 126 upon bypassing the magnet 154 of the first union bolt 158, contaminants 160 are attracted by the magnets 154 attached to the second and the third union bolts 176, 178, respectively.

[0034] According to another embodiment of the present invention, the pair of auxiliary
oil reservoirs 126 and the hose pipes 186 may also be packed within a kit (not shown) to the customers of the existing generator sets who wish to upgrade their generator sets to avail the facility of enhanced engine oil replacement intervals. In such requirements, all that is needed to be done is to install the auxiliary oil reservoirs 126 below the existing platform 112 in accordance with the above noted embodiments of the present invention, insert the first union bolt 158 having the first coupler 162 within the existing oil sump 124, and connect the first coupler 162 with the hose pipes 186.
[0035] A skilled person would note that the above noted embodiments of the present
invention working on the principle of transmission of fluid pressure within a confined system allows the embodiments to have a simpler construction and arrangement that is easier to be installed and detached. Therefore, need of scaling to higher or lower engine oil replacement needs, as per the customer requirement, could be easily achieved. Furthermore, maintaining such systems is also relatively simpler.
[0036] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and
variations can be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Thus it is intended that the present invention cover the modifications and variations of this invention provided they come within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.
