Electrical machine e.g. steam turbine, has rotor supported on pivots, and storage tank arranged above pivots and flow-technically connected with pivots such that lubricating oil flows to pivots by effect of gravitation

摘要

The machine has a rotor (2) supported on pivots (3), and an oil pump (7) mechanically connected with the rotor so that the rotor continuously drives the oil pump if the rotor is rotated. The oil pump is flow-technically connected with a lubricating oil reservoir (8) and a storage tank (10) so that lubricating oil (6) is delivered from the reservoir to the storage tank by the oil pump by the rotating rotor. The storage tank is arranged above the pivots and is flow-technically connected with the pivots such that the lubricating oil flows to the pivots by the effect of gravitation.
