AIR-FLOW CIRCUIT FOR AIR FLOW THROUGH A BEARING ENCLOSURE

摘要

The invention relates to an air-flow circuit for air flow through a bearing enclosure (1) of a turbine engine, the air-flow circuit including: supply means (4) arranged such as to supply the air into the bearing enclosure (1); discharge means (6) arranged such as to discharge at least some of the air from the bearing enclosure (1); an oil-removal system (13) connected to the discharge means (6), the oil-removal system (13) being capable of reducing the amount of lubricant contained in the air coming from the discharge means (6); and a compressor (16) arranged between the discharge means (6) and the oil-removal system (13), the compressor (16) being capable of increasing the air pressure at the intake of the oil-removal system (13).
