A Laboratory-Tested Constant-Level Oil Sump to Prevent Aeration of Scavenged Oil from An Aircraft Engine

Abstract

Combination oil sump and scavenge pump was constructed to eliminate lubrication difficulties resulting from foaming of scavenged oil and airlock of scavenge pump. Air was prevented from entering scavenge pump by column of oil in sump above pump inlet. Tests were conducted using constant level oil sump at sea level conditions. Construction details of device are included.
