Abstract: A jet engine with a bearing chamber, a sealing chamber, a de-aeration chamber and a bearing chamber support, the support delimiting the bearing chamber comprising at least one bearing appliance in certain areas. The bearing chamber is separated from the sealing chamber via a sealing appliance, with the sealing chamber being separated via a further sealing appliance from the de-aeration chamber that is arranged at the side of the sealing chamber facing away from the bearing chamber. The sealing chamber is connected to a sealing air conduit, by which the bearing chamber can be supplied with a sealing air volume flow. The de-aeration chamber is connected to a de-airing appliance via which a volume flow can be discharged from the de-aeration chamber into a core flow channel of the jet engine. The de-airing appliance is embodied as at least one air extraction duct with a tubular flow cross-section.

Abstract: A turbomachine with a turbine device, a fan device and a compressor device, wherein the turbine device has a turbine shaft that acts together with a fan shaft of the fan device and a compressor shaft of the compressor device by means of a planetary gear device. The planetary gear device is embodied with a first shaft, a second shaft and a third shaft. The first shaft of the planetary gear device is connected to the turbine shaft of the turbine device in a torque-proof manner, the second shaft of the planetary gear device is connected to the fan shaft of the fan device in a torque-proof manner, and the third shaft of the planetary gear device is connected to the compressor shaft of the compressor device in a torque-proof manner. The planetary gear device has a fourth shaft that is fixedly attached to the housing.

Abstract: In a gas turbine, the compressor load is reduced and the turbine load is increased for controlled bearing load reduction by forming a low-pressure chamber (8) that is shielded from the compressor air at the compressor (1) and a high-pressure chamber (9) that is supplied with compressor air at the turbine along the high-pressure shaft (2). The pressures can be controlled within specific limits. Controlled bearing load reduction allows high speeds and a long service life of the bearings.
