Abstract
A system for a turbine engine includes a turbine engine component, a lubricant collection device and a plurality of lubricant circuits. The lubricant collection device is fluidly coupled with the turbine engine component. The lubricant circuits are fluidly coupled between the lubricant collection device and the turbine engine component. The lubricant circuits include a first circuit and a second circuit configured in parallel with the first circuit. Each of the lubricant circuits includes a lubricant pump. The first and the second circuits receive lubricant from the lubricant collection device, and direct the received lubricant to the turbine engine component.
