Force feed lubrication systems are designed to accurately deliver, monitor, and protect oil delivery to pumps, compressors, or any other critical equipment. A system is usually comprised of a divider block which automatically directs the oil to several points, a lubricator pump to deliver the oil under sometimes very high pressure, and a computer to monitor the flow of the oil, to give totals, averages, alarms, etc. For example a reciprocating compressor may need oil delivered directly to the piston area itself. This would require generating enough oil pressure to overcome what ever gas pressure may be at the piston area. Sometimes several hundred to a few thousand psi may need to be produced by the force feed lubricator.

Explain working of forced lubrication system?
In a mechanical system such as surface to surface movements or a mechanical seal normal lubrication does nor penetrate in the gaps where lubrication is essential due to force / pressure in the mating part or seal. Lubrication in this case is forced into the joints by applying pressure resulting in forced penetration of lubricant.
What is mist lubrication system?
Mist lubrication system is that, in which the lubrication of a bearing is done by the oil in the form of oil mist.
What is the difference between splash lubrication and pressurized lubrication?
Splash lubrication like in small engines uses a dipper connected to the crank that " dips " into the oil on the down stroke and " splashes " it up and onto the engine parts on the upstroke. Pressurized lubrication uses a pump to push the oil through passages to the needed areas.
What is difference between orthogonal cutting and oblique cutting?
orthogonal cutting is a 2D cutting having 2 forces i.e cutting force and feed force where as oblique cutting is a 3D cutting having additional force i.e radial or passive force.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of a splash lubrication system that is used in a centre lathes gearbox?
I Dont exactly know but got somthing to do with splash lubrication.
All automotive engines that are equipped with full-floating pistons pins use which type of lubrication systems?
Full Force Feed
What is gravity feed lubrication?
gravity feed lubrication is when the lubricant is pumped to the top of the object needing lubrication, and falls on top of the object, covering it and lubricating it. An example would be a wet sump car engine.
What determines the maximum oil pressure in a force feed lubrication as the engine speed increases?
Oil pumps have a spring operated regulator and the spring's tension determines the max oil pressure.

If the prisoner chooses not to eat will a prison guard force forced feed them?
No, a prison guard can not force feed an inmate. Only a doctor would be able to do that.
