    摘要: A de-aerator for a lubrication system, has: a housing defining an air-oil inlet, an oil outlet, and an air outlet of the de-aerator; a rotor received within the housing and rotatable relative to the housing about a central axis, the rotor having blades distributed about the central axis and extending at least partially radially relative to the central axis, flow passages extending between the blades, the rotor having a hub circumferentially extending around the central axis and around the blades, the hub having a peripheral wall oriented radially inwardly and defining a fore opening leading to the flow passages; and a gap between the housing and the hub of the rotor, a portion of the housing received within the fore opening and axially overlapping the peripheral wall of the hub, the gap having a fore gap inlet between the portion of the housing and the peripheral wall of the hub.

    摘要: A deaeration rotor for an aircraft engine lubrication system comprising: an internal ring about an axis having a radially outer internal ring surface defining an inner boundary of an inner passage of the deaeration rotor; an external ring about the axis having a radially inner external ring surface defining an outer boundary of an outer passage of the deaeration rotor; a disc about the axis radially between the internal ring and the external ring, the disc having a radially inner disc surface defining an outer boundary of the inner passage and a radially outer disc surface defining an inner boundary of the outer passage; and blades circumferentially spaced from one another relative to the axis extending in the outer passage from at least one of the external ring and the disc, the blades located radially inward of an annular portion of the outer passage immediately downstream of the blades.

    摘要: Systems and methods of providing oil for lubrication and/or cooling to an engine component in a turbine engine. A system for directing oil flow across a radially inward facing surface of the engine component comprises a nozzle axially forward of the component which is configured to eject a stream of oil, a deflecting body having a deflecting surface positioned to receive the stream of oil incident thereon and configured to deflect the stream of oil axially rearward, and an oil catcher comprising an annular catching flange positioned to receive the deflected stream of oil incident thereon and defining a plurality of grooves configured to channel the incident oil axially rearward to the component.

    摘要: A gas turbine engine comprising at least one drum pack having two or more annular discs 62a-c. Adjacent discs 62a-c are connected by drive arms 68 the drum pack is provided with a tubular sealing body 84 positioned radially inwards of the drive arms 68 and extending from a first disc 62a to a last disc 62c in the drum pack. The first 62a and last 62c discs have the greatest axial separation of all discs 62a-c in the drum pack. The sealing body 84 engaging the first 62a and last 62c discs and the engagement being arranged to limit or prevent the ingress of liquid into a drum cavity 76 defined between the first 62a and last 62c discs, the drive arms 68 and the sealing body 84.
