EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF DIFFERENT SUPPLY DESIGNS IN HYDRODYNAMIC THRUST BEARINGS
Journal Title: Tribologia - Year 2010, Vol 233, Issue 5
Abstract
Hydrodynamic thrust bearings have considerable power losses, and in modern designs lubricated oil is cooled in external systems. After the cooling, oil is pumped back to the bearing housing, most frequently to the space between pads. Effectiveness of supplying of cold oil to the vicinity of the inlet to the fluid film has a strong influence on bearing temperature and load capacity. In practice there is a lot of different supply methods used in thrust bearings, but there is a lack of descriptions of their efficiency in literature. In this paper some experimental results of influence of selected supplying methods on bearing characteristics have been presented.<br/><br/>
