In a rotating shaft machine having at least one shaft bearing, a lubricating system for circulating a liquid lubricant to and from the bearing. The lubricant, after engaging the bearing, flows to a reservoir containing a lubricant pool, which reservoir also embodies a heat pipe partially submerged in lubricant with at least one segment above the lubricant pool surface. A stream of air generated by a fan or other duct facility, is directed toward the exposed segment of the heat pipe whereby to cool the latter and consequently to effect heat exchange with the lubricant pool.
