RISEffect of a Reduced Oil Flow Rate on the Static and Dynamic Performance of a Tilting Pad Journal Bearing Running in Both the Flooded and Evacuated Conditions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The mechanical efficiency of rotating machinery improves as drag power losses in bearings reduce; hence, an operation mode that reduces the supplied flow brings immediate benefits. The paper presents measurements of the ...
Measurements to Quantify the Effect of a Reduced Flow Rate on the Performance of a Tilting Pad Journal Bearing With Flooded Ends
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Operation of tilting pad journal bearings (TPJBs) with a reduced flow decreases pumping costs and oil sump storage. A low supplied oil flow improves system energy efficiency by reducing drag power losses, albeit the ...
