Abstract
A lubrication system for a turbine engine that includes one or more rotating components. The lubrication system includes one or more tanks that store lubricant, a primary lubrication system, and an auxiliary lubrication system. The primary lubrication system supplies the lubricant from the one or more tanks to the one or more rotating components during stable operating conditions of the lubrication system. The auxiliary lubrication system includes an auxiliary feed line and an auxiliary supply line. The auxiliary lubrication system receives the lubricant from the one or more tanks through the auxiliary feed line. The auxiliary lubrication system supplies the lubricant to the one or more rotating components through the auxiliary supply line when there is a potential lubricant interruption in the lubrication system.
