Explore the evolution of jet engine oil systems from total loss to dry-sump recirculating setups. Learn about components like pumps, filters, and tanks, and how oil is distributed and lubricated in the front, center, and rear bearing chambers. Discover the role of pressure and scavenging in maintaining oil supply and preventing loss. Get insights into the functioning of oil coolers, pumps, and tanks in efficient oil management.

TYPICAL OIL SYSTEMS Jet Engines Distribution and Lubrication
Scavenge Pump SUMP i.e. oil was lost in the gas stream Early jet engines were total loss system Engine Bearing Chamber Pump Filter Tank Jet engines are now ‘DRY-SUMP - RE-CIRCULATING’ Oil systems TYPICAL OIL SYSTEM - JET ENGINE
