The present invention relates to a bearing compartment for a turbomachine such as a gas turbine engine. The compartment includes a bearing compartment, to which is attached, on its front and rear sides, covers that allow for the passage of air through the compartment as well as past the compartment. In particular, the compartment includes a plurality of axially extending and circumferentially spaced apart sealed air cavities surrounding an oil cavity in the compartment; the bearing which supports a shaft extending through the engine is supported by the bearing. The compartment also includes a plurality of axially extending and circumferentially buffer air cavities surrounding the sealed air cavities, thereby providing additional insulate protection to the oil cavity. |
