Bearing housing

A bearing assembly comprising:

• a housing including an annular wall extending about an axis and axially between a first housing end and a second housing end, the annular wall including:
• a plurality of holes spaced circumferentially from one another and spaced axially from the first housing end, the plurality of holes extending through the annular wall toward the axis;
• and
• an interior housing surface extending about the axis and defining interior openings of the plurality of holes, the interior housing surface having a cylindrical portion circumscribing a bearing cavity, the cylindrical portion extending axially from a first location proximate to the first housing end to at least a second location between the first location and the interior openings;
• a bearing including an outer race extending about the axis and axially between a first outer-race end and a second outer-race end, the outer race received by the housing inside the bearing cavity such that the first outer-race end is proximate to the first housing end and the second outer-race end is proximate to the interior openings;
• wherein the outer race includes an exterior outer-race surface extending circumferentially about the axis and axially between the first and second outer-race ends, and the interior openings are located axially between the exterior outer-race surface and the second housing end, and wherein the second outer-race end includes an outer transition surface adjacent to the exterior outer-race surface, the outer transition surface axially overlapping the interior openings.

A turbine engine comprising:

• a casting defining a wet cavity;
• a housing including an annular wall extending about an axis and axially between a first housing end away from the casting and a second housing end proximate to the casting, the annular wall including:
• a plurality of holes spaced circumferentially from one another and spaced axially from the first housing end, the plurality of holes extending through the annular wall toward the axis;
• and
• an interior housing surface extending about the axis and defining interior openings of the plurality of holes, the interior housing surface having a cylindrical portion circumscribing a bearing cavity in fluid communication with the wet cavity, the cylindrical portion extending axially from a first location proximate to the first housing end to at least a second location between the first location and the interior openings, the plurality of holes in fluid communication with the wet cavity via the bearing cavity;
• a bearing including an outer race extending about the axis and axially between a first outer-race end and a second outer-race end, the outer race received by the housing inside the bearing cavity such that the first outer-race end is located proximate to the first housing end and the second outer-race end is located proximate to the interior openings.

A bearing housing for a bearing having an outer race, the bearing housing comprising:

• an annular wall extending about an axis and axially between a first end and a second end, the annular wall including:
• a plurality of holes spaced circumferentially from one another and spaced axially from the first end, the plurality of holes extending through the annular wall toward the axis;
• and
• an interior housing surface extending about the axis and defining interior openings of the plurality of holes, the interior housing surface having a cylindrical portion defining a seat for radial engagement with the outer race, the cylindrical portion extending axially from a first location proximate to the first end to at least a second location between the first location and the interior openings;
• wherein each hole of the plurality of holes extends toward the axis at a skew angle relative to the axis, the skew angle being acute toward the first end, and wherein the skew angle is between 30 and 40 degrees.
