There are several bearing system at large steam-turbines in thermal power plant. The bearing system is one of the most important parts of rotating machinery. The steam turbine vibrations mainly depend on the bearing oil the shaft alignment condition. This paper describes on the steam turbine abnormal vibration due to the oil whip in terms of the shaft alignment in the thermal power plant.

The critical speeds and mode shapes are most important to determine the behaviors of rotor in designing rotating machinery. As the capacity and span of turbine-generator increases, the turbine-generator system is composed of many components such as bearings, pedestal, turbine and hood and so on. Also, it is getting flexible and has many critical speeds. Especially, as the characteristics of bearing-pedestal are very complicated, they affect the entire vibration characteristics of turbine-generator system. In this paper, it is observed how to determine the equivalent dynamic stiffness of bearing-pedestal by analytical and experimental method.

The lubrication characteristics of high-speed ball bearings have been investigated empirically using 45mm bore split inner ring ball bearings employed in small industrial gas turbine engines with oil-jet lubrication method. For the close structural simulation, experiments carried out with bearing mounting supports of real engines, such as bearing housings and oil nozzle assemblies with squeeze film dampers. Thus the results of tests can be directly applied to the design and the development of gas turbine engines. Testing was done by varying operating speeds, axial load on bearings, and lubricant flow rates. During testing, the temperature of bearing at outer-ring face, the power consumption of the driving motor, and the rotating resistance of the bearing were measured. From this study, the representative factors for lubrication characteristics at high speed was found, and the most important one was not operating speed but axial load up to 1.95 million dmN speed and 2969 N axial load. Furthermore, the detailed variation of the rotational resistance of the bearing could be visualized by measuring the change of the radial load under the bearing supports. The rotational resistance consists of the frictional resistance and the bearing-cavity oil resistance.

This paper presents the analytical method to evaluate the seismic responses on steam turbine-generator rotor system. Deterministic analytical methods, such as response spectrum approach, modal superposition method and direct integration method, are used to calculate the seismic response. The computer software is also developed based on the methods then can be applied to estimate the seismic safety of turbine-generator rotor system for power plants. Numerical example of a steam turbine-generator rotor system of 1007MW nuclear power plant is presented. The aseismatic performance are checked by comparing maximum seismic deflection at bearing positions with bearing clearance.

Lubricating oil supply system is an essential instrument for safe turbine operation. A lubricating condition may cause the abnormal vibration of turbine. In this paper we have discussed the abnormal vibration of turbine due to lubricating oil. Dusts of the air usually attach to end of the oil deflector and contact particles of the bearing oil. Dusts which were contacted particles of the bearing oil were changed into carbon deposit because of high temperature. therefore, carbon deposits occur abnormal vibration of the turbine when they contact a rotor. So, we have solved this problems through the various maintenance.

The design process of the dental handpiece is described. The parameters of the high speed air turbine are estimated. The effect of supply hole on the stiffuess and damping of the air bearing for handpiece is studied numerically. The Reynolds equation is solved by using the divergence formulation and the perturbation method. The test rig is built and the test procedure is developed for the turbine rotational speed measurement by using Fourier transform of noise generated by the turbine during steady operation.

The tilting pad journal bearings have been widely used to support high pressure/high rotating turbine rotors owing to their inherent dynamic stability characteristics. However, fatigue damages in the upper unloaded pads and the break of locking pins etc. by pad fluttering are continuously taken place in the actual steam turbines. The purpose of this paper is to develop a new bearing model that can prevent bearing problems effectively by pad fluttering in a tilting pad journal bearing. A new bearing model which has a wedged groove is suggested from the studies of fluttering mechanism performed by previously research works. The fluttering characteristics of the upper unloaded pad are studied experimentally in order to verify the reliability of a new bearing model. It can be known that the phenomenon of pad fluttering nearly does not occurred in the new bearing model under the various experimental conditions. And it is observed that any kinds of bearing failures by pad fluttering does not detect in the application of acture steam turbines.

This paper deals with the design, manufacturing and test evaluation of a hydrostatic bearing applied to a hydraulic model turbine. The design parameters of a hydrostatic bearing, considering machining and assembly tolerances, and recommended values of design parameters are presented. Also the simple design procedure of a hydrostatic bearing by utilizing the reference results is proposed. In order to illustrate the utility and validity of the proposed design procedure, two hydrostatic bearings are manufactured and test evaluation of these bearings are performed. In results, the proposed design procedure can be utilized as an effective tool at the initial design screen of a hydrostatic bearing. However, the 2D bearing governing equation should be solved to obtain the optimal design of a hydrostatic bearing.
