DOC AIRBUS | AMM A320FOIL - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
1. General
The lubrication system of one engine is completely self-contained and separated from the other engine or aircraft fluid systems.
Oil is distributed to components requiring lubrication and cooling by one lubrication pump element. Distribution is controlled by nozzles which direct the oil to each component.
Four scavenge pump elements in the pump remove oil from the engine bearing sumps and gearboxes and return the oil to the tank through a servo fuel heater and an oil/fuel heat exchanger.

3. Operation
The lubrication system consists of four subsystems, each of which accomplishes a specific function to ensure adequate lubrication for the bearings and gears of the engine:
** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL The lubrication system consists of four subsystems, each of which accomplishes a specific function to ensure adequate lubrication for the bearings and gears of the engine:
- the lube supply system,
- the lube scavenge system,
- the oil seal pressurization system,
- the sump venting system.
NOTE: The appropriate lines and fittings are made of fire proof materials.
4. Oil Servicing
To permit servicing:
To permit servicing:
- two drain ports are normally provided (a gearbox plug, a tank plug),
- two filling ports on the oil tank (gravity and pressure).
