Experimental Investigation of a Large Tilting-Pad Journal Bearing—Comparison of a Flooded and Non-Flooded Design

In tilting-pad journal bearings (TPJB), power loss corresponds to the internal friction in the shearing of the oil. Besides the lubrication gap, intermediate spaces between the pads account for a notable amount of frictional losses. Against the background of increasing demands for efficiency and sus...
