Abstract: Embodiments are directed to lubricant delivery systems and methods. In one embodiment, the system comprises a lubricant feeder; a pipe comprising at least one nozzle; and at least one lubricant flow outlet extending upwardly from the nozzle. The nozzle comprises at least one flow area reducing portion along the length of the pipe near the lubricant feeder and the at least one lubricant flow outlet is configured to provide lubricant to at least one portion of a machine. In one embodiment, a method for controlling flow is provided comprising; delivering lubricant to an initial section of a lubricant delivery system; increasing the speed of the lubricant as it approaches a first outlet; allowing a portion of the lubricant to exit through the outlet; decreasing the speed of the lubricant after it passes the outlet; and allowing at least a portion of the lubricant to exit through a second outlet.

Abstract: Embodiments of a lubricant delivery system comprise a lubricant feeder comprising at least one outlet port with an outwardly tapering cross section, and a lubricant delivery pipe operable to receive lubricant from the at least one outlet port of the lubricant feeder. The lubricant delivery pipe also comprises at least one lubricant discharge nozzle disposed on the lubricant delivery pipe, wherein the at least one lubricant discharge nozzle is operable to deliver lubricant to portions of the lubricant delivery pipe.
