Publication number: 20240044289Abstract: An auxiliary tank for an aircraft turbine engine is provided, and in conjunction with a pump and associated auxiliary lubrication circuit, supplies oil to a reducer when, for example, a phase of free rotation of the fan is detected. Thus, the reducer is always lubricated, even during the phases of free rotation of the fan, thus ensuring a longer life of the reducer gears. The auxiliary tank is arranged with respect to the reducer so that oil is recovered from the reducer at least in part by the auxiliary tank.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 23, 2023Publication date: February 8, 2024Applicant: SAFRAN AIRCRAFT ENGINESInventors: Christophe Paul Jacquemard, Didier Gabriel Bertrand Desombre
