Accessing a valve assembly of a turbomachine
DRIVE
November 23, 2011
An example method of accessing a valve assembly (50) of a turbomachine (10) includes accessing a check valve (58) of the valve assembly (50) from a first position that is radially outside a flow path (36) through the turbomachine (10). The method accessing a shut off valve (54) of the valve assembly (50) from a second position that is radially outside the flow path (36). The check valve (58) and the shut off valve (54) are configured to influence communication of lubricant along a lubricant communication path (36) that extends between a location radially outboard the flow path and a location radially inboard the flow path (36). The first position is the same as the second position in some examples.
