Abstract: A lubrication system for a turbine engine having one or more rotating components. The lubrication system includes a primary reservoir that stores a lubricant therein. A primary lubrication system supplies the lubricant from the primary reservoir to the one or more rotating components during normal operation of the turbine engine. An auxiliary lubrication system includes an auxiliary reservoir in fluid communication with the primary reservoir and the one or more rotating components. The auxiliary reservoir receives the lubricant from the primary reservoir and is positioned at substantially a six o'clock position of the turbine engine. The auxiliary lubrication system supplies the lubricant from the auxiliary reservoir to the one or more rotating components based on at least one of a pressure of the lubricant in the primary lubrication system, a pressure of fuel in the turbine engine, or a pressure of hydraulics of the turbine engine.

Abstract: Bearing assemblies for a turbomachine include a first race statically coupled to a fixed engine housing, a second race coupled to a rotating shaft, a bearing cage disposed between the first race and the second race, and at least one bearing element disposed in the bearing cage. The bearing cage can include inlet channels to allow air to flow into the bearing cage and outlet channels that allow the air and lubricant mixture in the bearing cage to vent into adjacent compartments of the turbomachine. During operation, the inlet channels actively direct an airflow into the bearing cage. In the bearing cage, the air mixes with lubricant, and the air and lubricant mixture is expelled from the bearing cage through the outlet channels, thereby reducing dwell time of lubricant in the bearing assembly.

Abstract: This disclosure is directed to seal assemblies for a turbomachine. The seal assemblies include stationary and rotating components and at least one interface between the stationary and rotating components. The seal assembly further includes a self-lubricating lattice element made of carbon or a carbon-based material. The self-lubricating lattice element may have a porous and compressible microstructure capable of retaining a liquid substance. During engine operation, the self-lubricating lattice element can compress and expel some portion of the liquid substance to form a liquid-containing layer between the rotating and stationary components of the seal assembly. Also described herein are self-lubricating wear sleeves for use in other portions of the turbomachine.
