An oil system of a gas turbine engine, includes a first oil circuit and a second oil circuit. Via the oil circuits, oil is supplied to a hydraulic load of a transmission of the engine. Downstream of the load, in the region of a return of the transmission, oil is introduced into the oil circuits from the transmission. Upstream of the load, in the region of inlets, oil can be introduced into the transmission from the oil circuits. The second oil circuit includes an oil accumulator between the return and the inlet of the second oil circuit. The oil accumulator is configured such that, according to a feed pressure of the oil upstream of the inlet, oil is stored in the oil accumulator or oil stored in the oil accumulator is fed toward the inlet.

Oil system of a gas turbine engine, comprising a first oil circuit and at least one second oil circuit, and gas turbine engine

A gas turbine engine for an aircraft including a unit supplied with oil from a first oil circuit and a second oil circuit. The first oil circuit and the second oil circuit each are fluidly coupled with at least one inlet and with at least one outlet of the unit and with at least one inlet and with at least one outlet of an oil tank. The first oil circuit and the second oil circuit are configured to receive oil from the oil tank and to direct the received oil to the unit. The oil tank is incorporating offset outlets to each of the oil circuits. The offset outlet of the second oil circuit is positioned higher in the oil tank than the offset outlet of the first oil circuit.

Gas turbine engine

A gas turbine engine includes a gearbox receiving input from a core shaft and driving a fan at a lower speed than the core shaft. First and second oil circuits fluidly couple with an inlet and outlet of the gearbox. A third oil circuit fluidly couples with an inlet and outlet of the gearbox. The outlet of the gearbox includes a device directing oil from the gearbox to the first oil circuit, to the second oil circuit and to the third oil circuit when feeding to the gearbox exceeds a predefined oil flow rate, or deviates an operational value corresponding with that oil flow rate, and directs oil from the gearbox to the third oil circuit when feeding to the gearbox is &#x2264; the predefined flow rate or is &#x2264; a corresponding operational value or is greater than or equal to a further corresponding operational value.
