Abstract

A lubrication system is provided for delivering a lubricant to a plurality of nozzles. The lubrication system includes a reservoir for the lubricant; a pump fluidly coupled to the reservoir and configured to remove a flow of the lubricant from the reservoir; a lubrication sensor positioned between the pump and the plurality of nozzles and configured to detect a blockage in the plurality of nozzles and to generate a blockage signal when the blockage is detected; and an indicator coupled to the lubrication sensor and configured to generate a warning based on the blockage signal from the lubrication sensor.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to lubrication systems for gas turbine engines, and more particularly to lubrication systems with nozzle clogging detection systems in gas turbine engines. Background technique [0002] Lubrication is an important aspect of keeping machinery in working order. Machine parts such as bearings, journals, shafts and joints require lubrication between moving surfaces to reduce friction, prevent contamination, reduce wear and facilitate heat dissipation. In some cases, improper lubrication has the potential to cause premature wear of components. Accordingly, gas turbine engines include lubrication systems to maintain proper lubricant flow through the engine, including the turbine or gearbox. In most lubrication systems, a supply pump supplies lubricant from a reservoir through a supply conduit to a nozzle arrangement that sprays the lubricant onto the parts to be lubricated, and a return pump directs the lubricant col...
