Author(s) : KOBAYASHI H., MURATA N.

Summary

THE PAPER PRESENTS HOW THE REFRIGERANT DISSOLVED IN OIL AFFECTS ON JOURNAL BEARINGS RELIABILITY. THE BEARING MODEL TEST IS PERFORMED USING THE HERMETIC TEST APPARATUS. THE OIL FILM PRESSURE IS MEASURED UNDER SEVERAL TYPES OF BEARING GROOVES, L/D RATIOS AND MIXING RATIOS OF REFRIGERANT TO OIL. THE MEANS BY WHICH THE REFRIGERANT DISSOLVED IN OIL CAUSES DAMAGE TO JOURNAL BEARINGS IS MADE CLEAR: THE FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEM IS THAT THE REFRIGERANT GAS, WHICH EVAPORATES AND ACCUMULATES IN THE BEARING CLEARANCE, DISTURBS THE OIL SUPPLY INTOTHE BEARING.
