Valve
Because the damper is located in an environment where the normal operating temperature can reach approximately 140°C (284°F),
coupled with the fact that the damper also generates its own heat, it is necessary for it to be oil cooled. A separate oil circuit
routes oil from the engine's oil cooler to a valve in the engine block, which opens at approximately 2 bar. The oil then flows to 3
jets, located on the crankshaft vibration damper cooling pipe, which then directs the oil to the lower section of the damper.
The oil flows through the jets at approximately 12 liters per minute.
At high temperatures, oil cooling reduces the damper temperature by approximately 7°C (45°F).
