An assembly is provided for an aircraft propulsion system. This assembly includes a first drain tube, a second drain tube, a container and a gas tube. The container fluidly couples the first drain tube to the second drain tube. The container is configured to receive fluid from the first drain tube. The gas tube is fluidly coupled with the container. The gas tube is configured to direct gas into the container for propelling the fluid received within the container into the second drain tube.

An oil cooling system for an aircraft engine, a bypass valve and an associate method of cooling aircraft engine oil are provided. The oil cooling system includes a heat exchanger having an inlet and an outlet. The inlet is in fluid communication with a first oil conduit to receive a first oil flow from the first oil conduit. The heat exchanger facilitates heat transfer from the first oil flow to another fluid. A flow restrictor defining a constriction is operatively disposed to restrict the first oil flow through the heat exchanger. A second oil conduit receives the first oil flow from the heat exchanger. A bypass oil passage provides fluid communication between the first oil conduit and the second oil conduit to allow a second oil flow received from the first oil conduit to flow to the second oil conduit and bypass the heat exchanger.

A lubrication system for use with a gas turbine engine includes a first reservoir for containing a lubricant. The first reservoir includes a first discharge passage through which the lubricant is flowable in a first direction. A second reservoir contains the lubricant. The second reservoir includes a second discharge passage through which the lubricant is flowable in a second direction. The first direction is generally opposite to the second direction. A first pump pumps the lubricant from the first reservoir. A second pump pumps the lubricant from the second reservoir. A manifold distributes the lubricant to a component. The lubricant from the first pump and the second pump flows into the manifold and exits the manifold through a manifold discharge.

An internal gear pump includes a pinion, a ring arranged around the pinion, and a cylindrical wall arranged around the ring. A support element, on which the pinion and the ring are supported, carries high-pressure liquid towards a recess located at the junction between the ring and the cylindrical wall, and also carries low-pressure liquid towards another recess located at another point of the junction between the ring and the cylindrical wall. The recess allows the load of the ring on the cylindrical wall to be reduced.

A bearing configured to actively damp vibration of a shaft in a turbine. In one implementation, the bearing can include actuating members that move in a manner that changes properties of fluid, typically a thin film of lubricant, disposed in the bearing to facilitate rotation of the shaft. These changes effectively manipulate the stiffness and damping of the thin film according to a time periodicity that matches a parametric anti-resonance of the bearing. In turn, the resulting interaction of vibrating modes is favorable to damp vibration amplitudes at critical speeds.

An epicyclic gear train for a turbine engine includes a gutter with an annular channel. A rotating structure includes a ring gear that has an aperture that is axially aligned with the annular channel. Axially spaced apart walls extend radially outward relative to the rotating structure to define a passageway. The passageway is arranged radially between and axially aligned with the aperture and the annular channel. The walls are configured to inhibit an axial flow of an oil passing from the aperture toward the annular channel.

A turbomachine engine can include a fan assembly, a pitch change mechanism, a vane assembly, a core engine, a gearbox, and a gearbox efficiency rating. The fan assembly can include a plurality of fan blades. The pitch change mechanism can be coupled to the fan assembly. The vane assembly can include a plurality of vanes. The core engine can include one or more compressor sections and one or more turbine sections. The gearbox includes an input and an output. The input is coupled to the one or more turbine sections of the core engine and comprises a first rotational speed, the output is coupled to the fan assembly and has a second rotational speed, and a gear ratio of the first rotational speed to the second rotational speed is within a range of 4.1-14.0. The gearbox efficiency rating is 0.10-1.8.

A turbomachine with a counter-rotating turbine for an aircraft includes a counter-rotating turbine and a mechanical reduction gear with an epicyclic, planetary-type gear train. The gear train includes a planet carrier secured to a stator housing of the turbomachine situated upstream from the counter-rotating turbine in relation to a direction of gas flow within the turbomachine. The planet carrier is secured to the stator housing by an annular part with an elongated shape extending inside the second shaft. The annular part includes an upstream end secured to the intermediate casing and a downstream end coupled to the planet carrier. The annular part also includes an integrated circuit for conveying lubrication oil from its upstream end to the planet carrier.

There is disclosed an arrangement for separating an air-oil mixture in an oil distribution system of an engine. The arrangement comprises a distribution channel of the system, which defines a fluid flowpath suitable for receiving the air-oil mixture, and an ultrasonic transducer configured to insonate the fluid flowpath.

An internal combustion engine, ICE, system, includes a turbocharger having a turbine and a compressor for compressing intake air and feeding the intake air to the ICE. A turbo turbine unit is disposed in an exhaust gas path downstream the turbocharger to receive exhaust gas from the turbocharger. The turbo turbine unit having a turbine wheel, a bearing housing defining an inside volume for containing lubrication oil, and a sealing arrangement positioned in the vicinity of the turbine wheel for preventing lubrication oil from escaping from the inside volume of the bearing housing to an exhaust duct of the turbo turbine unit. A buffer air conduit extends between a selected position at the compressor and a buffer air inlet of the turbo turbine unit. The buffer air inlet is in fluid communication with a buffer air channel inside the turbo turbine unit to direct buffer air to a position in-between axially opposite arranged annular sealing members to provide a counter-pressure against at least one of the annular sealing members.
