Force Feed (Noun)
Meaning
Mechanical system of lubricating internal combustion engines in which a pump forces oil into the engine bearings.
Classification
Nouns denoting man-made objects.
Examples
- The force-feed lubrication system was a key innovation in the development of early internal combustion engines.
- The engine's force-feed system was designed to ensure a consistent flow of oil to the bearings under varying operating conditions.
- One of the advantages of the force-feed system was its ability to provide high-pressure lubrication to the engine's bearings, even at low engine speeds.
- The force-feed system used in the old diesel engine had to be regularly maintained to prevent oil leaks and corrosion.
- In contrast to splash lubrication, the force-feed system was more efficient and reliable, especially in high-performance engines.
