Abstract

The invention relates to a device of the build-up of pressure in supply systems (6, 11, 20, and 23) to components (19, 36) on internal combustion engines (2). The invention includes directly couples lubricant systems and pressure-generating systems (3, 8), an electric fuel pump (34), as well as a control apparatus for determining lubricant pressures. A supply module (12, 34) is provided with an independent drive (16) and supplies lubricant in the lubricant oil circuit (24) or to selected lubricating position, or fuel into a fuel supply (36). The supply module (12, 34) can optionally include a pressure converter (30).
