Bearing arrangement for a wind turbine and wind turbine

A bearing arrangement for a wind turbine comprising:

• a bearing housing;
• a drive shaft arranged within the bearing housing in an axial direction along a longitudinal axis of the bearing housing;
• and
• a downwind bearing and an upwind bearing as radial fluid bearings, the downwind bearing and the upwind bearing being arranged between the bearing housing and the drive shaft;
• a first lubricant flooded chamber arranged at the downwind bearing, in which radial bearing pads of the downwind bearing are arranged about the drive shaft, the first lubricant flooded chamber being sealed against the drive shaft, an internal space of the bearing housing, and an outside of the bearing housing, proximate the downwind bearing, wherein the first lubricant flooded chamber is located between an exterior surface of the bearing housing and the internal space of the bearing housing, and the radial bearing pads are arranged in a series along a cylindrical seat within the lubricant flooded chamber;
• a second lubricant flooded chamber arranged at the upwind bearing, in which radial bearing pads of the downwind bearing are arranged about the drive shaft, the second lubricant flooded chamber being sealed against the drive shaft, the internal space of the bearing housing, and the outside of the bearing housing, proximate the upwind bearing;
• wherein the first lubricant flooded chamber and the second lubricant flooded chamber each comprise a lubricant inlet;
• wherein the lubricant inlet of the first lubricant flooded chamber and the second lubricant flooded chamber is fluidically connected via a lubricant pump to the bearing housing.
