pressure lubrication
1pressure lubrication — [1] Forced feed lubrication. [2] Lubrication system with crankcase scavenging. Fresh oil is supplied from a separate container and lubricates the engine components as it passes through the crankcase. The oil is ignited along with the air/fuel… …
2lubrication — A type of friction reducing agent like oil or grease. Also see central chassis lubrication chassis lubrication clean oil lubrication dry sump lubrication forced feed lubrication petroil lubrication pressure lubrication pump fed lubrication …
3Lubrication — is the process, or technique employed to reduce wear of one or both surfaces in close proximity, and moving relative to each another, by interposing a substance called lubricant between the surfaces to carry or to help carry the load (pressure… …
4lubrication — See lubricate. * * * Introduction of any of various substances between sliding surfaces to reduce wear and friction. Lubricants may secondarily control corrosion, regulate temperature, electrically insulate, remove contaminants, or damp shock.… …
5Lubrication theory — A branch of fluid dynamics, lubrication theory is used to describe the flow of fluids (liquids or gases) in a geometry in which one dimension is significantly smaller than the others.Interior flows are those where the boundaries of the fluid… …
6pressure relief valve — A one way valve designed to open at a specific pressure to prevent pressures in the system from exceeding certain limits. In an engine s lubrication system, a pressure relief valve opens to relieve excessive pressure that the oil pump might… …
7Boundary lubrication — Brief description of lubricationLubrication is the process, or technique employed to reduce wear of one or both surfaces in relative motion to one another by interposing a substance called lubricant between the surfaces to carry or to help carry… …
8Hydrodynamic lubrication — Hydrodynamic (HD) lubrication (or fluid film lubrication) has essential elements:#A lubricant, which must be a viscous fluid. #Hydrodynamic flow behavior of fluid between bearing and journal. #The surfaces between which the fluid films move must… …
9boundary lubrication — A phase in lubrication in which a thin film of oil only a few molecules thick separates two rubbing surfaces. It can occur because of a high bearing load, inadequate viscosity, oil starvation, or loss of oil pressure. Boundary lubrication is not… …
10Oil pressure (internal combustion engine) — Oil pressure is an important factor in the longevity of most internal combustion engines. With a forced lubrication system (invented by Frederick Lanchester), oil is picked up by an oil pump and forced through oil galleries (drillings) into the… …
