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 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.

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 factors that increase or reduce friction?

Factors that increase friction include rough surfaces, higher force pressing two surfaces together, and the presence of moisture. Factors that reduce friction include smooth surfaces, lubrication between surfaces, and reducing the normal force between the surfaces.
