Patent attributes
A device including a reservoir configured to receive a lubricant from a machine lubricated with the lubricant. The device also includes a pressure equalizer connected to the reservoir. The device also includes a first loop comprising a first line system through which the lubricant flows between the machine and the reservoir. The lubricant within the first loop is at a first pressure. The device also includes a temperature regulation system configured to regulate a temperature of the lubricant. The device also includes a second loop comprising a second line system through which the lubricant flows between the temperature regulation system and the reservoir. The lubricant within the second loop is at a second pressure that is less than the first pressure. The second loop is separate from the first loop.
