RISOn the Design, Manufacture, and Premature Failure of a Metal Mesh Foil Thrust Bearing—How Concepts That Work on Paper, Actually Do Not
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Oil-free microturbomachinery (OFT) implements compliant foil bearings because of their minute drag and ability to operate in extreme (high or low) temperature. Prominent to date, bump-foil thrust bearings integrate an ...
On the Predicted Effect of Angular Misalignment on the Performance of Oil Lubricated Thrust Collars in Integrally Geared Compressors
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Multiple-stage integrally geared compressors (IGCs) offer improved thermal efficiency and easier access for maintenance and overhaul than single-shaft centrifugal compressors. In an IGC, a main bull shaft drives pinion ...
On the Predicted Performance of Oil Lubricated Thrust Collars in Integrally Geared Compressors
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Integrally geared compressors (IGCs) comprise single stage impellers installed on the ends of pinion shafts, all driven by a main bull gear (BG) and shaft system. When compared to single shaft multistage centrifugal ...
