Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2957735A1] A diesel engine generator set comprising an electric generator, an internal combustion engine having an internal sump for collecting oil, and an oil reservoir external of the engine. The engine includes an oil inlet port opening into the internal sump, and connected to an outlet of the oil reservoir, and an oil outlet port connected to an inlet of the oil reservoir, such that a flow circuit is defined between the internal sump and the oil reservoir. The flow circuit comprises flow control means for selective control of oil flow between the internal sump and oil reservoir, such as one or more valve and/or pump. A controller may control flow between the internal sump and the external oil reservoir.
