I forgot who asked, but I didn't see a reply to the

question about the NSI GB breather.



The person to talk to is Peter Graichen.  He has a

good number of mods for his plane pictured on his web

site and I think this breather is there too.



Peter, can you post your web site link again, or at

least the breather pic?

Thanks Peter,

  

 Looks like a simple setup.  It looks like oil goes all the way to the  reservoir.  Is that correct?

OK,

My bad. Should have looked and listened a bit closer. I didn’t realize

it was a different redrive. I will go back to seep now.

FWIW,

 I was told by Lance some time ago that the  breather is actually detrimental. The mist created in the gear set is beneficial  to lubrication. The vent diminishes this from forming. If the seal are good and  the unit is not over filled there should be no need for one. I never needed one  in 600 hours of operation. Please I don't care to get commentaries on Lance and  get off topic. This is my general understanding of the closed reduction system  and how it worked for me.

Hi Rick:

 As you can see from the  pixs I posted, I made a connection from the gearbox bottom drain to a plastic  overflow bottle. The tube goes all the way to the bottom of the overflow bottle.  The overflow bottle is vented. As the gearbox heats up during operation the  internal pressure increases considerably without this vent. This does lead very  easily to oil leaks around the seals.

 During operation the  pressure buildup expells about 5 fluid ounces of oil into the overflow bottle.  As the gearbox cools after shut down, it sucks all the oil back into the  gearbox. It is basically the same setup as the coolant overflow. As far as oil  mist within the gearbox is concerned, I can not see where my setup would make  any difference.

Peter,

  

 Since some oil obviously drains out of the gear box and into the tube, do  you just try to add enough oil to start with to make the oil level in the gear  box and the tube about the same height as the top of the gear box, or do you  allow some space there also?

Why is your breather out of the bottom of your redrive instead of the top?

Looks like you helped (again) Peter.  Price of being a

leader.

I fill the gearbox with  the specified quantity. In my case that is 850 ccm.
