<p>A sump housing (10) for scavenging lubricant is disclosed herein. The sump housing (10) includes an outer wall (40) defining a chamber. A lubricated structure operable to rotate can be disposed within the sump housing. The sump housing also includes an out-take (56) for lubricant scavenging. The out-take (56) extends across a chordal arc of the chamber. The out-take (56) includes an upstream first portion (60) of the outer wall (40) diverging away from the chordal arc at a first rate. The out-take (56) also includes a downstream second portion (62) of the outer wall opposite the first portion (60). The second portion (62) diverges away from the chordal arc toward the first portion (60) at a second rate greater than said first rate to define a blunt wall facing the first portion (60) for reducing the likelihood that windage will limit lubricant scavenging.</p> |
