Integrated lubricating fluid filtering and metering device

Abstract

A lubrication system for an attritable engine includes a bearing chamber, a fluid filtering inlet configured to receive a fluid, and a fluid filtering outlet located downstream of the fluid filtering inlet and configured to deliver the fluid to the bearing chamber. The lubrication system also includes a lattice, integral and conformal with the attritable engine, configured to filter the fluid, and located between the fluid filtering inlet and the fluid filtering outlet. The lubrication system also includes a metering port, configured to meter the fluid and located downstream of the lattice and upstream of the fluid filtering outlet.
