| 摘要 |
The invention concerns a device (1) for draining liquid lubricant (8) from a bearing arrangement (2) for a shaft which rotates about an axis (3), particularly for a steam turbine. The bearing arrangement (2) has a bearing (5) which support the shaft (4) and to which lubricant (8) is admitted, at least one gasket (7) encircling the shaft (4), next to the bearing (5), and a collection chamber (10) which encircles the shaft (4) and is associated with a first initial end (9a) of the bearing. Lubricant (8) which exits from the first end (9a) can be trapped in the collection chamber (10) and drawn off. A sump (11) for lubricant is geodetically placed beneath the bearing (5) and is connected to a lubricant drain (12). The collection chamber (10) has a guide channel (25) through the sump (11 ) for conducting the lubricant (8) into the lubricant drain (12). The invention also concerns a process for draining a liquid lubricant (8) from a bearing arrangement (2). |
