Abstract:
1. A method of increasing the safety of a power plant provided with at least one heat engine driving a gearbox (BTP), the gearbox (BTP) having a lubrication system, the lubrication system including fluid stored in a reserve, the reserve having a first bottle containing water and a second bottle containing an intermediate solution comprising one of (i) an antifreeze and (ii) at least an antifreeze and a lubricant, the method comprising: solely injecting water from the first bottle of the reserve into the heat engine to increase a power developed by the heat engine without increasing a temperature of a member of the heat engine; solely injecting water from the first bottle of the reserve into the heat engine to decrease the temperature without modifying the power developed by the heat engine; and injecting water from the first bottle and the intermediate solution from the second bottle to the gearbox (BTP).
