Summary

A small high speed cryogenic turboexpander is designed. Attention has been paid to the study of the effect of foil stiffness on the vibration performance of bearings. The maximum rotational speed obtained is greater than 230,000 rpm. Therefore, owing to its simplicity and high performance, this type of foil journal bearing can hopefully be applied to a small high speed cryogenic turboexpander.
