METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SEGREGATED OIL SUPPLY AND SCAVENGE IN A GAS TURBINE ENGINE

摘要

A gas turbine engine oil supply and scavenge apparatus includes: a stationary first frame comprising a first hub and a first outer ring interconnected by an array of radially-extending hollow first struts; a forward wet cavity defined radially inboard of the first frame, having a first rolling element bearing disposed therein; a supply line extending from the first outer ring through one of the first struts and communicating with the forward wet cavity, the supply line adapted to discharge oil to the forward wet cavity; a stationary second frame comprising a second hub and a second outer ring interconnected by an array of radially-extending hollow second struts, the second frame disposed aft of the first frame; and a scavenge path communicating with the forward wet cavity and adapted to remove oil-air mist from the forward wet cavity, the scavenge path defined at least in part by the second frame.
