Abstract:
A gas turbine engine has a low pressure turbine driving a fan rotor through a gear reduction gearbox. The low pressure turbine has an input shaft driving a sun gear. The sun gear drives intermediate gears. There is an output shaft driven by one of a carrier and a ring gear in the gear reduction to in turn drive a fan drive shaft to drive the fan. A bearing compartment housing encloses the gear reduction gearbox. A fan shaft bearing supports the fan drive shaft. An oil supply system delivers oil to at least one of the sun gear, the intermediate gears and the ring gear. A scavenge system returns oil from the bearing compartment housing to a sump. An ejector pump communicates with a source of pressurized fluid to assist in driving oil from within the bearing compartment housing into a scavenge tube.
