Analysis of Structure Characteristics and Improvement of Turbo-Supercharger Bearing

The reliability of the gas turbo-supercharger can be affected by the faults such as the cauterization of the floating bearing of the supercharger, the carbonization of the rotor and getting stuck, the deformation of the blade and heat cracking of the nozzle ring. The design scheme is proposed by using friction bearing taking the place of the floating bearing, because the main reason of the cauterization of the bearing is the increase of the inside clearance of the floating sleeve, which is testified by the actual rpm measurement of the floating sleeve on the floating bearing and the adjustment test of the inside and outside clearances of the bearing. The experimental study on the structural characteristics of turbocharger bearing effectively prevents turbo-supercharger floating bearing from being cauterized, solves the problem of thermal fatigue damage, and improves turbocharger reliability.
