Where is the scavenge oil filter located?

The scavenge oil filter is located on the LOSCA (Local Oil Supply and Control Assembly). This assembly is critical in managing the oil that lubricates and cools various components of the gas turbine engine. The function of the scavenge oil filter is to remove contaminants from the engine oil after it has circulated through the engine. This ensures that the oil remains clean, reducing wear and prolonging the lifespan of the engine components.

Positioning the scavenge oil filter on the LOSCA enables efficient cleaning of the oil before it is returned to the oil system, which is essential for maintaining optimal engine performance. Understanding this aspect of the gas turbine system helps in troubleshooting and proper maintenance of the engine’s lubrication system.
