Lubrication System of Gas Turbine Engines
By Aviationwriter ¶ Posted in Gas Turbine Engines ¶ Tagged gas turnine engines, Lubrication System ¶ 2 Comments

The lubrication system supplies oil to the various moving parts within the engine which are subjected to friction loads and heating from the gas path. The oil is supplied
under pressure along the main rotor shaft and to the gearboxes to reduce friction, to cool, and to clean. It is then returned by a scavenging system to the oil storage tank to
be used again and again. Oil consumption is low in gas turbine engines as compared to piston engines, and this accounts for the relatively small bulk oil storage tanks used.
They can be as small as 3 to 5 quart capacity on business jet size engines and 20 to 30 quarts on large commercial type engines. The oil is not exposed to great quantities of
combustion products and is kept fairly clean by filtration. Heat, however, is a problem which can cause rapid oil decomposition, and for this reason temperature is
carefully controlled by automatic cooling devices and is carefully monitored by the engine operators.

It is effective to have a range of lubricants for different types of nuts and bolts, in different situations. Reducing friction is
key in the use turbine engines.

Reducing friction is the key.
