    ABTATA review of several dierent types of hydrodynamic jour

    nal bearings that are commonly found n turbomachinery ispresented Emphasis is placed on the key geometric designparameters of each type The discussion covers plain journalaxial groove pressure dam oset splt lemon bore multlobeand titling-pad bearings

    The application of the critical speed map and some basicnon-dimensional bearing parameters as tools for preliminarybearing selection and comparison are dscusse These toolsare applied to two case studies which demonstrate the properapplcation of diferent bearing designs to industrialturbomachnery

    INTOTIONIndustral turbomachinery such as steam turbines gas

    compressors pumps and motors contan a variety of dierenttypes of hydrodynamic journal bearings The types of bearingsmost commonly found in turbomachinery include

    plain cylindrcal axial grove pressure dam lemon bore

    179

    oset pivot three-lobe four-lobe tilting-pad

    The reason for such a large selection of bearngs is tat ac ofthese types has unique operatonal characteristics tat renderit more suitable for one application than anoter [145]

    The ndamental geometric parameters for all ournalbearings are diameter pad arc angle length-to-diametr ratioand runing clearance For the bearing types consisting ofmultple pads there are also variation in the number o padspreload pad pivot oset angle and orientation of te earing

    (on or between pads) In addition to the geometric paretersthere are several important operating parameters e keyoperating parameters are oil viscosity oil density rotatingspeed gravity load at the bearin and applied externl loadsVolute loads in pumps and mesh loads in gear boxs areexamples of external loads

    The plain journal bearing shown in Figure 1 is t mostbasic hydrodynamic journal bearing As the name imlis thisbearing has a plain cylndrical bore A shaft rotating in plainjournal bearing is illustrated in Fgure The eccentric rotatingsha wll develop an oil lm pressure prole as shon in thegure If ths pressure prole is ntegrated around th aringa net resisting force to oppose the imposed load rsultsThe postion at which there s a balance between the iposedload and the hdrodynamic force is called the eqlirum

A bearing pad wit a macined bore radius Rp centered at O and a set bore radius Rh centerd at te truebering center O is sown in Figure 5. IfO is coincident witO ten Rp = Rh and te preload is zero. In tis case if tejoural is centered in te bearing te pad arc will be concentric wit te journal surface.

    Figure 6. Lemon BoreJornal Bearing.

    The oset spt bearing [11] is shown in Figure 7. Thisbearing is preloaded in the horiontal direction. It is manufactured by osetting the halves before nish boring such thatwhen the halves are matched the pad centers will be oriontally oset. In this bearng the horiontal clearance is smallerthan the vertical clarance. The vertical clearance equals thepad machined clearance. The horiontal diametral clearance isequal to the pad machined diametral clearance minus twicethe radial oset.

    Figure. Offset Split Jornal Bearing.

    Three-lobe (Figure 8 and four-lobe (Figure 9) bearingsbelong to a class of bearing called multiobe bearings[11, 12,13, 14, 15, 16]. These bearings are similar in concept tothe lemon bore bearings (i.e. there is a separate pad machinedbore and bearing set bore). Note that the centers of pad ac foreach of the lobes form a circle referred to as a preload circle.herefore a wide range of preloads is possible by changing thepad and set bores.

    Figure8 Three-obe Journl Bearng.

    Figure For-oe Journal Bearing.

    Up to this point the discussion has addresse severalstyles of xed geometry or xed pad bearings. Eac o thesebearings has specic avantages in dierent applications butthey all have a characteristic calle cross-couple stiesswhich creates an out-of-phase force to the displacemnt ancouples the equations of motion for the lateral egrees ofeedom. Under certain conditions this cross-copling cancause the bearing to be unstable and an oil whirl ill rsult.

    The tilting-pad journal bearing [17,18,19,20,1,2,23]consists of several individual journal pads which can pivot inthe bore of a retainer. The tilting pad is like a mltilobebearing with pivoting lobes o pads. The same conept ofpreload applies to the tiltig-pad bering. The pas hae amachined bore and these pads can be set into a retiner toachieve a particular bearing set bore. The primary avantage ofthis design is that each pad can pivot independently to velopits own pressure prole. This independent pivoting aturesignicantly reduces the cross-couple stiess. In ct if padpitch inertia is neglectd and the bearing is symmetri aboutthe vertical axis the cross-couled stiffness terms areeliminated [17]. The number o pads tilied in the tiltng-padbearing can be three four ve or seven. However te mostcommo tilting-pad bearing arrangements have fr or vepads. The rocker pivot and the spherical pivot arrangmentsare illustrated in Figures 1 and 11, respectively. The rockerdesign has a line-contat pivot beteen the pa nd thebearing retainer. As the name implies the spherical esign hasa semispherical surface-contact pivot. Both of these esignsallow the pads to pitch in the conventional manner. oeverthe spherical design has the additional ability to accommodatesha misalignment.

    bore and bearing set bore ote that the plain journal axialgroove and pressure dam bearings have only one bore (the setbore is the same as the pad bore The dierence between thepad machined bore radius and the journal radius is the padmachined clearance The dierence between the bearing setbore radius and journal radius is the bearing set clearance Theset clearance is the same as the running clearance which isoften specied as a clearance ratio of mils (milli-inches perinch of journal diameter Some typical values of clearance ratio

    are between 15 to 0 mils/in Obviously there are someapplications where these values do not apply The manufacturer will speci the recommended clearances for the particularbearing application

    Slenderness ratio is also referred to as D ratio This isthe ratio of the bearing length to the sht diameter This ratiotypically varies between 0 and 10 However some plainjournal bearings have slenderness ratios above 1 0 The bearing length aects the stiess and damping characteristics ofthe bearing In the selection of a bearing length one mustconsider the bearing unit loading The unit load is the bearingload divided by the product of the bearing length and the shdiameer therefore the units are psi Typical values of unitloading are between 150 and 50 psi

    NAPE ITIAL PEE APAn example of a typical critical speed map for a rotor

    supported between two bearings is depicted in Figure 1 Thisis a plot of the undamped critical speeds as a nction of thebearing stiess The map illustrates the eect of bearingstiess on the rotor critical speeds In the exible bearingregion the shaft is sti relative to the bearings Thereforebearing stiness can signicantly aect the critical speedsbecause the criticals increase as the bearing stiness is increased In the sti bearing region the critical speeds becomeasymptotic to an upper limit as which the bearings are rigidrelative to the rotor shaft Hence they are called the rigidbearing critical speeds

    In order to control sh dynamics a designer must selecta bearing with stiess and damping qualities that are compat

    ible with the rotor If the bearings are too sti the eectiveness of the bearing damping will be limited regardless ofthe theoretical damping coecient value Three undampedcritical speed curves are shown on the map in Figure 1 Thesemodes are the rst three natural equencies of the rotorbearing system

    The combination of dierent bearing types geometriesand imposed operating conditions provides a broad selection ofdierent stiess and damping properties Therefore somebearings will be better than others for a particular applicationWhen the actual bearing stiness is plotted on the criticalspeed map the intersections indicate the undamped critical

    speeds It should be noted that the stiess of an actualhydrodynamic bearing is a complex quantity

    K=K+i (1where the subscripts u and v denote the principal lateral

    directions x or yThe real term K is the stiess coecient The imaginaryterm c is the product of the damping coecient and theangular speed Therefore the undamped critical speeds fromthe map are only an approximation of the actual dampedcritical speeds

    BEAING TIFFNE ANAPING ELATONHIP

    In addition to the critical speed map the designer can usesome basic non-dimensional quantities to compare dierentbearing designs The relationships presented here were developed by Barrett Gunter and Allaire[4] based on thesingle-mass rotor The single-mass rotor on damped elasticbearings is illustrated in Figure 13 This model commonlyreferred to as te Jecott model [5] has been equently usedby researchers to investigate rotor dynamic behavior Thesebasic single-mass rotor relationships can then be applied asapproximations to determine complex industrial rotor characteristics provided that the major masses of the complex rotorsuch as wheels are mounted between the bearings and provided there is a relatively symmetric mass distribution

    Te eective s stiess can be calculated from the-

    igid bearin critical speed and te modal mass of te rotor byusing te equation:

    s = Wcr mwee Wcr = te igid bearing critical speed (rad/sec

    = te eective sa stiess (lb/in

    as:

    m = te rotor modal mass on rigid supports(lb-sec/inapproximatelywrotor12g

    Te total critical bearing damping can also be calculated

    Ccr = mWcrTe stiess ratio [4] is te total bearing stiess divided

    by te rotor stiess or:

    K = bl + bwere b and K are te stiness for eac of the bearings. Itis recommended tat tis atio be limited to six or less.

    Te damping ratio [4] is te total actual bearing dampingdivided by the total critical damping or:

    act = Cbl + Cbz/Ccrwhee bl and b are te damping values for eac of te

    bearings. Te optimum damping ratio can be approximatedom te stiess ratio as:

    opt = (1 + K /Tese ratios can be calculated for bot te oriontal and

    vertical directions. However te gravitational roto load normally causes te bearing stiess to be ige in te eticaldirection tan in te horiontal direction. Tus the verticalstiess is usually most important.

    Two case studies will be presented in order to demonstrate the application of tese bearing design concepts. Itshould be empasied tat te rules of tumb and designcriteria applied here are not universal-design rules tat applyin all cases. They are simply guidelines tat can assist tedesigner in the pursuit of te optimum bearing design.

    A seven-stage centifugal compesso as sown in Figure14, wic ad exibited ig vibration in te eld gured inte rst case. Tis was a 1942 lb rotor wit a 744 in bearingspan. Te rotor was supported in two 3.6 in diameter journalbearings. A critical speed map for the compressor showing test three modes is depicted in Figure 15. Note tat te rigidbeaing critical was 3685 rpm and the opeating speed was69 rpm. Also note te atness of te rst mode curve wichis typical of a long exible rotor. Te stiess of this saft isonly 37 X 1 lb/in.

The critical speed map alsoindicated this problem because the vertical stiess wasshown to ntersect the rst mode curve in the rigid bearing region Therefore the pressure dam modication wasunacceptable

    Based upon the previous discussion two major objectivesneeded to be met in considering a design alternative First thebearing stiess had to be reduced to the exible bearingrange and the rotor stability needed improvement Thesecriteria were met with the ve shoe tilting-pad bearing conversion shown in Figures 18 19 and 20. The new design had 2.5in pads 25 percent preload 6. 0 mil diametral set clearanceand load-between-pad orientation With these redesignedbearings the stiess ratio ws reduced to5. 8 and the logarithmic decrement was increased to a very stable value o +0. 45.The resulting horiontal and vertical stiess curves for thenal tilting-pad bearing design are shown in Figure 15.
