Embodiments are directed to lubricant delivery systems and methods. In one embodiment, the system comprises a lubricant feeder (22); a pipe (24) comprising at least one nozzle (26); and at least one lubricant flow outlet extending upwardly from the nozzle. The nozzle comprises at least one flow area reducing portion (28) along the length of the pipe (24) near the lubricant feeder (22) and the at least one lubricant flow outlet (30) 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. |
