rolling bearings lubricated with refrigerant
Progress in rolling bearing technology for refrigerant
Aug 21 2017The bearings have traditionally been hydrodynamic bearings but a relatively recent development is to apply rolling bearings because of lower friction and improved impeller positioning accuracy The newest technology is to use rolling bearing lubricated by the refrigerant itself without the addition of oil
Lubrication's Effects on Rolling Bearing Reliability
To ensure the reliable operation of rolling bearings correct lubrication is a vital and all too often overlooked factor The main purpose of a lubricant is to separate the metal surfaces of the bearing's components with a thin lubricating film to prevent wear At the same time the lubricating
US5469713A
A refrigerant device comprising at least one bearing disposed in a housing having a refrigerant flow path The bearing is contacted with a lubricant charge of a small quantity of lubricant dissolved in liquid refrigerant At least a portion of the liquid refrigerant proximate the bearing is vaporized to deposit lubricant on the bearing in sufficient quantity to provide for the lubrication thereof
Rolling Bearings Lubricated With Refrigerant by Rudolf
The challenge which pure refrigerant lubrication poses to rolling bearings was overcome by a special bearing development Energy efficiency and total cost of ownership are major drivers of the industry Therefore accurate predictions of bearing power losses became a fundamental component of the bearing performance rating
A Study on Lubrication Characteristics of Journal and
Friction losses in bearings accounts for a large proportion of the losses generated in scroll compressors Therefore bearings in scroll compressors for room air conditioners were evaluated by hydrodynamic lubrication analysis and bearing shapes that can reconcile low friction loss with high reliability were investigated First the profile of the main bearing which provides the function of a
Lubrication limits of rolling element bearings in
Lubrication limits of rolling element bearings in refrigeration compressors Jonsson Ulf J images of the tested bearings showed that the contact surface between the ball and race was chemically attacked in bearings operating with a refrigerant dilution of 23% R-134a The lubricant that was formulated with shorter acids gave the highest
Back to Basics: Pump Bearing Housing Lubrication
To prevent the loss of grease shielded bearings may be used Shielded bearings may be limited to a maximum operating temperature of 52-deg C (125-deg F) Oil Splash The most common form of bearing lubrication is direct contact As the shaft rotates the rolling elements in the bearing make contact with a
QIBR Rolling Bearings in Rolling Mills
performance data of rolling bearings for rolling mills are given in Catalogue GL1 A selection of publications covering rolling mill bearing arrangements and fundamental subjects in bearing arrangement engineering such as dimensioning mounting and dismounting lubrication and maintenance is given in the list on page 52 of this publication
The Ultimate Historical Timeline of Mechanical Lubrication
Feb 04 2019The proper lubrication of industrial equipment can also help reduce maintenance downtime and help you save on electricity fuel and energy costs Some common industrial machine parts that can be lubricated include gears hinges pulleys bearings shafts axles chains cables joints and pistons Tactical Law Enforcement

Quantitative Elastohydrodynamic Film
Jun 07 2017The first calculations of film thickness for an oil/refrigerant system using quantitative elastohydrodynamics are reported in this work It is demonstrated that primary measurements of the properties of the oil/refrigerant system can be employed to accurately predict film thickness in concentrated contacts

The sliding of the rolling element in the load zone would cause the bearing's wear and failure at high speed under elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) condition Aiming at this phenomenon considering lubrication oil film time-varying displacement radial clearance and comprehensive stiffness a five degree-of-freedom (DOF) dynamic model of rolling bearing with local defect is proposed
Lubrication of refrigerant compressor bearings
Nov 28 1995This invention provides a means of reliably lubricating rolling bearings in refrigerant compressors with refrigerant/oil mixtures which would normally have inadequate viscosity for such purposes It has been discovered that generally speaking mixtures containing less than about 75% oil by weight can not sustain an oil film in rolling element
Measurement of lubrication conditions in a rolling element
Rolling element bearings used in refrigeration suffer from poor film thickness due to decreased viscosity of the lubricant by the dilution of refrigerant in the oil The purpose of this paper is to redesign a bearing test apparatus equipped with a capacitance measuring device able to monitor the lubrication status in the bearing online and
