The journal bearings use in machine parts which move relative to each other and those reduce friction and wear of journals. The journal bearings are designed to operate in the hydyodynamic lubrication regime, but elastohydrodynamic lubrication nay occur if the pressures are too high or the running speeds are too low at machine elements. It is the phenomenon that the lubricant film is broken and some parts of surfaces are in rolling contact, so that wear will increase in mixed lubrication regime. The purpose of this study is to minimize the wear rate of journal bearings for extending machine life. The wear mate in mixed lubricated regime is selected as objective function because most of wear of the journal bearings develops in elastohydrodynamic lubrication. The journal bearings we represented by a bearing radius, shaft radius, and bearing width, but the bearing radius only is selected as design variables due to a bearing radius has an influence on friction loss, stability limit velocity, and film parameter, which are used as constraints. For numerical calculation, PLBA, that is a class of the RQP algorithm, is used.

1990년 7월 이후 #2 베어링에서 발생한 오일 휩 현상을 감지하고서도 그 주원인을 일반적으로 흔히 발생하는 사항에서만 해결방안을 찾으려 노력한 결과 3년 반의 시간이 경과되었고, 뜻하지 않게도 저널 직경의 불균일에 의한 오일 휩 현상임 을 뒤늦게 알게 되었다. 철저한 점검의 필요성을 강조하지 않을 수 없다. 증기터빈 의 Overhaul 작업완료 후 Oil Flusning 절차가 있는데 이 Oil Flusning 방법에 문제 가 있다. 보통은 작업완료후 로터를 정지한 상태에서 베어링 앞에 Oil Strainer(Fine Mesh)를 설치하고 오일 펌프를 기동하여 Flushing을 하는데 이때 Strainer를 통과한 작은 이물질이 베어링내에 축적되었다가 터빈 기동시 이 이물질과 로터가 접촉되어 저널이 손상되게 된다. 인천화력3호기 #2 베어링의 오일 휩을 일으키게 한 저널의 편마모 현상도 이와같은 경우임에 틀림없다. 왜냐하면 '90, O/H시 #2 베어링 저널의 직경은 원통형이었기 때문이다. 따라서 Oil Flusning은 터빈 구조상 불가능한 경우 도 있겠지만 베어링 by-pass Oil Flushing 시스템으로 개조 운영되어야 저널 및 베어링 마멸현상을 제거할 수 있고 이로인한 오일 휩 현상도 예방할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The stability of the flexible rotor mounted on circumferentially grooved floating ring journal bearings was investigated theoretically and experimentally. The floating ring journal bearing was analyzed by using JFO reformation boundary condition. The flexible shaft was analyzed by the finite element method based on Rayleigh beam theory. It was found that the measured ring speed agrees well with the theoretical results. The instability of the system due to not only the outer film but also the inner film of the bearing could be predicted by the theory which allows negative vapor pressure. The tendency that reducing the supply pressure of lubricant stabilizes the system was observed both experimentally and theoretically.

As journal bearing has a sliding motion between the shaft and bearing with lubricating oil, it produces a hydrodynamic lubrication condition. Journal bearing can receive a large force because it takes a distributed load at the large friction face. As the oil groove or oil hole is made in the journal bearing surface for the journal bearing smoothly working under a hydrodynamic lubrication condition, sufficient lubricating oil is supplied through the clearance of journal bearing. The performance of the journal bearing is changed according to the shapes, sizes and positions of an oil groove. In this paper, the flow rate according to the oil groove shapes (triangle, semicircle and rectangle) among the various oil supply conditions was measured. The shape that discharges the highest flow rate was observed and the groove shape of optimal performance for the journal bearing was determined. The results showed that the flow rate increases with decreasing operating temperature, the influence of temperature on the flow rate decreased with increasing rotational speed, and flow rate in the triangular groove shape was greater than in other shapes.

Journal bearings support rotors using fluid film between the rotor and the stator. Generally, journal bearings are used in large rotor systems such as turbines in a power plant, because even in high-speed and load conditions, journal bearing systems run in a stable condition. To enhance the reliability of journal-bearing systems, in this paper, we study health-diagnosis algorithms that are based on the supervised learning method. Specifically, this paper focused on defining the unit of features, while other previous papers have focused on defining various features of vibration signals. We evaluate the features of various lengths or units on the separable ability basis. From our results, we find that one cycle datum in the time-domain and 60 cycle datum in the frequency domain are the optimal datum units for real-time journal-bearing diagnosis systems.

The tilting pad journal bearing for the turbo compressor application has a role to support high speed and heavy loading rotor. White metal has been widely used for the bearing material but the conventional bearing is immediately suspended and induces serious serious damage to the rotor under the unexpected oil cut situation or the insufficient oil film formation. The carbon fiber reinforced composite having high specific stiffness, specific strength and excellent tribological characteristics can solve these seizure problems. In this work, the study on the durability of high thermal resistance carbon fiber/epoxy composite tilting pad journal bearing under oil cut situation was conducted. The material properties of the composite materials including tensile, compressive and interlaminar properties were measured at room and high temperature of oil cut situation. To investigate the possibility of failure of composite tilting pad journal bearing under oil cut situation, the stress distribution of the composite bearing was analyzed via finite element analysis and the Tsai-Wu Failure index was calculated. To verify the failure analysis results, the oil cut tests for the composite tilting pad journal bearing were conducted using industrial test bench.

발전 설비는 다양한 부품으로 구성되어 있으며, 많은 부분이 회전력에 의해 운전된다. 대표적인 터빈, 발전기, 펌프, 송풍기 등이 있다. 모든 회전체에는 그것을 지지하면서 마찰을 줄여 회전을 원할하게 하기 위하여 베어링을 사용한다. 베어링은 회전체의 마찰에 의한 동력 손실을 줄일 뿐 아니라 회전체의 동특성에도 영향을 준다. 또한 회전체 운전중 문제점의 원인 중 많은 경우가 베어링에 기인하므로 회전체 제작시 베어링이 적절히 선정되고 설계되어야 한다. 발전 설비에 설치되는 베어링 중 가장 큰 부분을 차지하는 것이 터빈-발전기용 베어링이다. 터빈-발전기용 베어링은 마찰에 의한 동력 손실이 발전소 용량의 약 0.5%를 차지하며, 터빈-발전기 축계의 동 특성을 고려한 설계에서 중요한 요소로도 작용한다. 여기서는 발전소의 터빈-발전기용 베어링에 대해서 언급하고자 한다.
