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.

How Maintenance for force feed lubrication system?

To maintain a force feed lubrication system, regularly check the system for leaks, ensure proper oil levels, monitor the condition of filters, and inspect the overall system for any signs of wear or damage. Follow the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule and use the correct type of lubricant to keep the system running smoothly.


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 are two methods of lubrication used in refrigeration compressors?

Two common methods of lubrication used in refrigeration compressors are splash lubrication and forced-feed lubrication. In splash lubrication, oil is splashed from a reservoir onto moving parts, ensuring adequate lubrication through the motion of the compressor components. Forced-feed lubrication, on the other hand, involves a pump that circulates oil under pressure to various parts of the compressor, providing more consistent and efficient lubrication, especially in high-load conditions.


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.


What is wick feed lubrication system?

A wick feed lubrication system is a method used to supply lubricant to machinery components, typically in bearings or gearboxes. It utilizes a wick, often made of felt or other absorbent material, to draw lubricant from a reservoir and deliver it gradually to the moving parts. This system is advantageous for its simplicity and ability to provide consistent lubrication without the need for pressurized systems. Wick feed lubrication is commonly found in applications where continuous lubrication is needed, but space and maintenance access are limited.

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.
