The present invention relates to a grease replacement method of replacing grease in a case (84) including a sealable gear chamber (31, 36) accommodating a gear (85) as a member to be lubricated, a grease injection port (61, 62) configured to inject grease into the gear chamber (31, 36), and a discharge port (32, 37) configured to discharge the grease in the gear chamber (31, 36), and a grease suction device to be used to perform this method. The grease replacement method includes a suction step (S2) of sucking the grease in the gear chamber (31, 36) from the grease injection port (61, 62) with the discharge port (32, 37) being open, and discharging the grease outside the case (84), and an injection step (S4) of injecting new grease into the grease injection port (61, 62) and supplying the new grease to the gear (85). This facilitates discharging of old grease.

A gas turbine engine includes an engine static structure. A rotating structure is configured to rotate relative to the engine static structure. The rotating structure has a target area with first and second directions. The first direction is greater than the second direction. A lubrication system includes a nozzle having a non-circular exit aimed at the target area. The exit provides a width and a height. The width is greater than the height. The width is oriented in the first direction.

A system for pumping lubricant in a gas transportation pipeline includes a pipeline robot and a control terminal system. The pipeline robot includes a lubricant position detection, module, a lubricant pumping module, an electro-hydraulic control system, a data acquisition and processing system, and a lubricant sucking port. The location at which the lubricant deposits can be detected online, and the lubricant staving in the gas transportation pipeline can be removed in real time. The system is highly automatic and efficient. Resistance against the natural as transportation is reduced effectively, the efficiency of transporting the natural gas is improved, and safety of transporting the natural gas is ensured.

The present disclosure discloses an oil-retaining mechanism, a valve structure, and a water outflow device. The oil-retaining mechanism comprises a valve body, a valve shaft, and a sealing member. The valve body comprises a motion cavity. The valve shaft is disposed in the motion cavity and configured to move axially. The sealing member is disposed between a cavity wall of the motion cavity and the valve shaft. At least one of the cavity wall of the motion cavity, the sealing member, or a connection portion of the motion cavity, the sealing member, and the valve shaft extends inward to define an oil storage groove. The oil storage groove comprises an opening. An inner side of the opening stores lubricating oil. The opening cooperates with and contacts the outer circumferential surface of the valve shaft. When the valve shaft moves in the motion cavity, the lubricating oil lubricates the valve shaft.
