ABSTRACT:
A device for discharging a liquid lubricant from a bearing configuration for a shaft which rotates around an axis, in particular for a steam turbine. The bearing configuration has a bearing, upon which the lubricant acts and which mounts the shaft, at least one seal, which is adjacent to the bearing and encircles the shaft, and a collecting chamber which is assigned to a first end of the bearing and encircles the shaft. The lubricant that escapes at the first end can be intercepted and channeled away by way of the collecting chamber. A lubricant sump chamber is provided geodetically beneath the bearing and is connected to a lubricant outflow. The collecting chamber has a deflection duct that extends through the lubricant sump chamber and is intended for channeling away the lubricant into the lubricant outflow. There is also taught a process for discharging a liquid lubricant from the bearing configuration.
