Thin Gas Film Isothermal Condensation in Aerodynamic Bearings

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Eliott Philippe Guenat

High-speed small-scale turbomachinery for waste heat recovery and vapor compression cycles is typically supported on gas-lubricated bearings operating close to the saturation conditions of the lubricant. Under particular conditions, the gas film might loca ...

Multi-Objective Optimization of Grooved Gas Journal Bearings for Robustness in Manufacturing Tolerances

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Eliott Philippe Guenat

A tolerancing method highlighting trade-offs against key design variables of mechanical systems is proposed and applied to herringbone-grooved gas journal bearings. Gas bearings typically suffer from a subsynchronous instability, demanding a very tight tol ...

Performance potential of gas foil thrust bearings enhanced with spiral grooves

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Eliott Philippe Guenat

The upscaling of turbomachinery using gas foil thrust bearings is limited because of their limited load capacity and the thermal issues linked with very thin film thickness. The improvement potential of spiral grooves manufactured on the top-foil of such b ...

Multi-objective optimization of turbo-ORC systems for waste heat recovery on passenger car engines

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Eliott Philippe Guenat, Violette Mounier, Kévin Rosset

Waste heat recovery from passenger car internal combustion engines by means of an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) system is promising for reducing CO2 emissions. In this study, different cycle configurations capable of converting waste heat from both coolant a ...

Spatially Sampled Pressure Profile Measurements in Externally Pressurized Gas Journal Bearings

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Eliott Philippe Guenat, Karim Magdi Zakaria Abdelrahman Shalash

Externally pressurized gas journal bearings (EPGJB) are widely adopted to support high speed rotors. This paper presents novel experimental benchmark test data which enables EPGJB model validation. Axial and circumferential pressure profile measurements ar ...

Real-gas effects on aerodynamic bearings

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Eliott Philippe Guenat

Motivated by the use of aerodynamic bearings lubricated with high-pressure gases in energy conversion cycles, the Reynolds equation is adapted in order to include effects of real-gas and turbulence. Three geometries (Rayleigh-step slider, plain and herring ...
