GEAR SYSTEM AND A METHOD FOR LUBRICATING A GEAR
20220112947 · 2022-04-14 ·

A gear system includes at least one gear stage, a pump system and oil channels for circulating a first lubricant oil flow via first elements of the gear stage and a second lubricant oil flow via second elements of the gear stage, and an oil conditioning system for controlling temperatures of the first and second lubricant oil flows so that the temperatures of the first and second lubricant oil flows are different from each other and flow rates of the first and second lubricant oil flows are different from each other. Thus, it is possible to utilize for example the fact that bearings do not need as much oil flow as gear wheels but, on the other hand, lowering oil temperature of the bearings provides more advantages than lowering oil temperature of the gear wheels.
