Abstract

An oil supply system for a stationary turbomachine is provided. A safe operation of the turbomachine is enabled even at ambient temperatures of up to 60° C. for a plurality of hours in a novel connection arrangement of the components of the oil supply system, such as the oil tank, pump a, and heat exchanger, as well as the pipeline system, without one of the components having to be designed for a further increased operating temperature. The oil tank has two regions stacked horizontally one above the other for storing the oil. The two regions are largely or completely separated from each other by a separating element.

Claims (12)

1. An oil supply system for a stationary turbomachine, comprising:

an oil tank for storing oil comprising a lower region and an upper region that are stacked horizontally one above the other and are separated from each other by a separating element;

a circulation conduit comprising a circulating pump for pumping the oil out of the upper region into the lower region;

a heat exchanger provided in the circulation conduit for cooling the oil; and

a lift oil conduit for removal of lift oil comprising a lift oil pump, wherein an end of the lift oil conduit is open into the lower region.

2. The oil supply system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein an end of the circulation conduit and the end of the lift oil conduit open into the lower region are arranged on same side of the oil tank.

3. The oil supply system as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a lubricating oil conduit for removal of lubricating oil comprising a lubricating oil pump, and wherein an end of the lubricating oil conduit is open into the lower region.

4. The oil supply system as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising an oil return conduit for returning the oil to the oil tank, and wherein an end of the oil return conduit is open into the upper region.

5. The oil supply system as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the end of the lift oil conduit open into the lower region and the end of the oil return conduit open into the upper region are arranged on opposite sides of the oil tank.

6. The oil supply system as claimed in claim 4 , wherein an end of the circulation conduit open into the upper region and the end of the oil return conduit open into the upper region are arranged on opposite sides of the oil tank.

7. A stationary gas turbine, comprising:

an oil supply system as claimed in claim 1 .
