Abstract

See full text

A system for bearing lubrication comprises a bearing; a temperature sensor; a pressure sensor; a lubricant reservoir; a bearing lubrication comprising a pump; a lubricant drainage line; an exhaust fan; and a bearing lubrication controller communicatively coupled to the temperature sensor, the pressure sensor, the pump, and the exhaust fan, wherein the bearing lubrication controller is programmed to execute bearing temperature control logic comprising detecting the temperature from the temperature sensor, determining whether the temperature falls outside an upper pre-defined bound of the temperature, increasing the rate of a lubricant supplied from the pump to the bearing, detecting the fluid pressure from the pressure sensor, determining whether the fluid pressure falls outside an upper pre-defined bound of the fluid pressure within the bearing, and increasing the speed of the exhaust fan to increase a pressure differential along the lubricant drainage line from the bearing to the lubricant reservoir.
