Default Re: lowest oil pressure for engine to survive

Brian The relief valve has a spring, which must be overcome to open, allowing oil to escape. When building hydraulic power supplies for the machintool industry OSHA required us to reduce the noise of the supply. We inclosed the supply and installed a cooling system. We installed sensors on all the components in the unit and the relief valve was one of the hottest.
