Introduction Definition of Lubrication: Lubrication is the process of applying a lubricant, such as oil or grease, to reduce friction and wear between moving surfaces in machinery or mechanical systems. Purpose of Lubrication: Reduce Wear: prevents from wearing out by forming a protective layer between them. Reduce Friction: helps to overcome friction. Cooling: Lubrication dissipates heat generated by friction . Sealing: Lubrication helps seal gaps between moving parts, preventing leakage of gases or fluids. Cleaning: Lubrication removes dirt, debris, and other contaminants from the surfaces .
Force Feed system Definition: Forced Feed Lubrication: A system where oil is pumped directly to all moving parts of an engine to ensure proper lubrication. Operation : Oil Pump : Special pump (e.g., gear pump) pushes oil through the system. Path of Oil : Oil travels through specific channels to reach engine parts. Parts Lubricated : Crankshaft, connecting rods, pistons, camshaft bearings, and timing gears. Pressure : Oil is pushed under pressure to reach even the smallest gaps between parts.
Working of forced feed lubrication System
Components of Forced feed lubrication System Oil Pump: Purpose: Pushes oil throughout the engine. Explanation: Special pump (e.g., gear pump) driven by the engine’s camshaft. Oil Filter: Purpose: Removes dirt and particles from the oil. Explanation: Prevents contaminants from damaging engine components. Crankcase Breather: Purpose: Allows hot air to escape from the crankcase. Explanation: Prevents pressure buildup, maintaining optimal engine conditions . Relief Valve: Purpose: Controls oil flow and pressure. Explanation: Prevents over-lubrication or oil starvation, ensuring proper engine function.
