FRICTION LOSSES MEASUREMENTS ON A RECIPROCATING COMPRESSOR MECHANISM.

Author(s) : LILIE D. E. B., KRUEGER M.

Summary

SPECIAL ATTENTION IS GIVEN TO THE PARALLEL-FACE THRUST BEARING IN ORDER TO DEFINE ITS LUBRICATION-FRICTION MECHANISM, AND TO EVALUATE THE FRICTION LOSSES. LABORATORY MEASUREMENTS HAVE IDENTIFIED THE CHANGE IN THE FRICTION LOSSES BY REPLACING THE CONVENTIONAL PARALLEL-FACE THRUST BEARING BY OTHER DEVICES LIKE: BALL BEARING, TILTED-PAD THRUST BEARING, ANTI-FRICTION RINGS, AND REDUCED BEARING WIDTH. THE RESULTS ARE COMPARED TO THE THEORETICAL MODELS. THE THRUST BEARING MEASUREMENTS SEEM TO BE THE MOST IMPORTANT, WHERE THE THEORY USUALLY MAKES POOR PREDICTIONS.
