DRIVETRAIN AND METHOD FOR LUBRICATING BEARING IN WIND TURBINE

摘要

A drivetrain for a wind turbine and a method for lubricating a bearing in a drivetrain of a wind turbine are disclosed. The drivetrain includes a rotatable component and a bearing surrounding the rotatable component. The drivetrain further includes a lubrication passage in fluid communication with the bearing for providing lubrication fluid thereto, and a drainage passage in fluid communication with the bearing for removing lubrication fluid therefrom. Further, the drivetrain includes a dry sump in fluid communication with the drainage passage. The dry sump includes a pump operable to flow lubrication fluid from the drainage passage.
