ANALYSIS OF THE LOAD-CARRYING CAPACITY OF A HYDRODYNAMIC WATER-LUBRICATED BEARING IN A HYDROELECTRIC POwER PLANT
Abstract
The paper presents an analysis of the load-carrying capacity of a historic hydrodynamic water-lubricated radial bearing of an unconventional segment design installed in the Braniewo Hydroelectric Power Plant. The aim of the calculations was to determine whether the bearing operates in the conditions of hydrodynamic or mixed lubrication, as well as to establish the optimal geometry of the axial grooves allowing for the highest load-carrying capacity. Computer simulations were performed using proprietary ARTbear software developed at Machine Design and Vehicles Department of Gdańsk University of Technology. The calculation results led to the creation of the technical documentation of the bearing’s modernization serving to increase its lifespan and reliability.
