ABSTRACT:
In a turbine plant having a starter housed in a starter chamber containing splash lubrication oil bath, the plant lubrication circuit is arranged to feed clean oil to a non-polluting chamber disposed intermediate the starter chamber and the chamber of the power take-off unit of the plant. The partition separating the starter chamber and the intermediate chamber has at least one through passage so that the oil baths of the two chambers are in permanent communication, and the passage is fitted with a filtering strainer to prevent contaminants entering the intermediate chamber, and hence the plant lubrication circuit, from the starter chamber. The partition between the intermediate chamber and the chamber of the power take-off unit is provided with an overflow passage so that excess oil in the intermediate chamber flows freely into the power take-off chamber.
