DEVICE FOR TESTING THE WEAR RESISTANCE OF MATERIALS FOR PARTS OF FOIL BEARINGS

Journal Title: Tribologia - Year 2014, Vol 255, Issue 3

Abstract

The paper presents a tribological test device for testing the wear resistance of materials used in foil bearings used in microturbines operating in combined heat and power plants in an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) with low boiling fluids. The tribosystem consists of the stationary foil/block made of the tested material and ring rotating at the defined speed. The tribosystem can operate in continuous and cyclical modes in an environment typical for foil bearings, i.e. with the presence of low boiling fluid.
