Patent abstract
A sump tank for use with a gas turbine engine in offshore conditions is disclosed. In embodiments, the sump tank includes two circuitous lubricant flow paths. Each flow path includes an end compartment, a side compartment, and a tube that feed to a central compartment. The baffles used to form the central compartment are angled so as to cause the lubricant entering from the tubes to swirl, which may increase the residence time of the lubricant and may help ensure that any entrained air is released from the lubricant prior to entering the suction line.
