Small air-cooled engine assembly with dry sump lubrication system

An engine assembly includes an engine, an external oil reservoir, a supply pump, and a return pump. The engine includes an oil gallery configured to distribute oil and a crankcase chamber. The external oil reservoir includes an oil tank defining an oil chamber and an oil filter assembly including a housing at least partially defining a filter chamber, and a filter positioned within the filter chamber. The supply pump is in fluid communication with the oil chamber and the oil gallery and the supply pump is configured to draw oil from the oil chamber and provide pressurized oil to the oil gallery. The return pump in fluid communication with the crankcase chamber and the filter chamber and the return pump is configured to draw oil from the crankcase chamber and provide pressurized oil to the filter chamber.

An oil tank for an engine is provided with a separator that reduces the amount of entrained air in the oil tank. The separator includes a body with an outer wall, a divider wall, and an outlet. The divider wall is located between the outer wall and at least a first portion of the outlet. The divider wall is offset from a curved portion of the outer wall, which defines a flow channel through which the oil flows towards the outlet. The oil increases speed as travels around the divider wall. This movement keeps the oil with some and/or more entrained air closer to the outer wall. In contrast, the oil with less or no entrained air moves closer to the divider wall and may travel more directly to the outlet.

Turbine Engine Oil Reservoir with Deaerator

A turbine engine reservoir has an oil deaerating device. The oil deaerating device includes a deaeration chamber for an air-oil mixture; an inlet of the air-oil mixture with a tangential inlet channel to form a vortex in the air-oil mixture contained in the chamber; and a vent for the discharge of air as a result of the deaeration of the air-oil mixture. The vent includes a rotor driven in rotation by the circulation of the air-oil mixture in the region of the inlet. The rotor filters the degassed air loaded with oil droplets in suspension. By centrifugal force, the rotor returns the collected oil onto the internal surface of the conduit of the vent. The collected oil drops back down into the chamber as a result of gravity.

FILTERING OF A FLOW OF GAS/PARTICLES

A device for filtering a flow of gas conveying liquid or solid particles in a flow channel. According to the invention, the particles are imparted a speed that is high enough to project same by inertia into the opening of a recovery channel formed inside the flow channel, while the gas from the flow bypasses said opening due to a specific configuration of the flow conditions of a perfect fluid in the flow channel and in the collection channel.

OIL DEAERATOR DEVICE WITH RESERVOIR PROVIDED WITH A STABILIZING WALL

The invention relates to an oil deaeration device (2) for a turbomachine lubrication system, comprising a tank (4) comprising an internal volume (10) with a bottom (10.1), an oil outlet 18) on the bottom (10.1), and an oil inlet opposite the bottom (10.1); an oil deaerator (6) provided at the oil inlet of the tank (4); and a stabilizing wall (14) arranged in the internal volume (10) facing the bottom (10.1) and provided with at least one passage for the oil (14.1), so as to delimit a volume d stabilized buffer oil (12).

Small air-cooled engine assembly with dry sump lubrication system

An engine assembly includes a small air-cooled engine and a dry sump lubrication system including an external oil reservoir, wherein the dry sump lubrication system has an overall oil capacity that provides at least five hundred hours of engine oil life.
