Turbine engine and lubricant reservoir for planetary gearbox

A turbine engine comprising:

• a fan section including a fan;
• a planetary gear assembly;
• and
• a lubricant transfer unit including a reservoir that is forwardly positioned relative the planetary gear assembly and between the planetary gear assembly and the fan of the fan section, the reservoir comprising:
• a body;
• a plurality of sectors angularly positioned about a circumference of the body, the plurality of sectors include a plurality of gear sectors configured to provide lubricant to a plurality of gears of the planetary gear assembly and a plurality of bearing sectors configured to provide the lubricant to a plurality of bearings of the planetary gear assembly;
• and
• a plurality of dams positioned between and defining each of the plurality of sectors.

A method of supplying lubricant to a gearbox of a turbine engine comprising:

• supplying a lubricant from a lubricant housing to a reservoir mounted on a fan shaft of the turbine engine via a plurality of lubricant lines, the reservoir being segregated into a plurality of sectors;
• rotating the reservoir to dispense the lubricant to a plurality of gears or a plurality of bearings positioned within the gearbox;
• circulating the lubricant through the gearbox;
• and
• returning the lubricant to the lubricant housing via the plurality of lubricant lines.
