🔍 Key Concepts

• Understand how a full flow lube oil filter system is arranged (all oil passes through the filter before reaching bearings). • Think about what happens to pressure and flow if the filter element becomes clogged or restricted. • Know the purpose of a spring-loaded relief or bypass valve in piping systems.

💭 Think About

• If the filter becomes clogged, what is more critical for machinery: protecting pressure boundaries or maintaining oil flow to bearings? • Which component in the system would a relief/bypass valve connect to or around, and what path would the oil take when it opens? • How would pressure behave upstream and downstream of the filter when there is a blockage? What role does the valve then play?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify whether the valve is meant to protect equipment parts from excessive pressure or to maintain lubrication flow under abnormal conditions. • Consider which item in the choices is the most direct function of a relief valve in this context, not just a side-effect. • Verify mentally what would happen to the engine bearings if no such valve existed and the filter suddenly plugged.
