Abstract
A lubrication system for a turbine engine having a longitudinal centerline axis and one or more rotating components. The lubrication system includes a primary lubrication system that supplies lubricant to the one or more rotating components during normal operation of the turbine engine. The lubrication system also includes an auxiliary lubrication system. The auxiliary lubrication system includes an auxiliary reservoir and a lubricant dispersion device. The auxiliary reservoir stores the lubricant therein. The lubricant dispersion device rotates about the longitudinal centerline axis. The lubricant dispersion device collects the lubricant in the auxiliary reservoir and disperses the lubricant to the one or more rotating components as the lubricant dispersion device rotates.
