Aircraft Oil Flow Management System For Inverted Flight
US Patent:
2014004, Feb 13, 2014
Filed:
Aug 12, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/572671
Inventors:
Gregory R. Brannon - Weston WV, US
International Classification:
F01N 3/00
US Classification:
553853
Abstract:
An oil flow management system reduces the amount of oil directed from an aircraft engine to the environment outside of the aircraft, even when the aircraft is in inverted flight. This decreases the amount of oil that becomes attached to exterior surfaces of the aircraft fuselage. A gaseous mixture including air and oil is directed from the aircraft engine to a separator, which separate the mixture into a gaseous component and an oil component. The oil component is directed from the separator to a reservoir via a unidirectional valve. When in a first orientation, the unidirectional valve allows oil to flow from the separator to the reservoir. However, when in a second orientation, the unidirectional valve blocks oil from flowing from the reservoir to the separator.
