In order to solve thermal deformation, the finite element numerical simulation of two kind of tilting pad thrust bearing is made for the same pad surface, and thermal deformation is made to analyze comparatively. The results show that the temperature field, the deformation field and the values of pad are similar for two different supported thrust bearing (point, line support) under the same operating condition. The pad temperature and deformation will increase with the increasing of pv values. According to the calculation conditions, the temperature field rose about 1°C, and the thermal deflection increased 0.002mm with pv value increased by 10%.

Rotor winding inter-turn short circuit a common fault in hydro-generators. This fault would change the temperature, stress, and other thermal fields of a rotor and threaten the safe operation of the generator. In this paper, the Three Gorges hydro-generator is taken as an example. Mathematical models of three-dimensional temperature field and thermal stress field of rotor magnetic poles are established based on heat transfer theory and solved by finite element method. The temperature field, thermal deformation, and thermal stress distribution of magnetic poles in rotor winding inter-turn short circuit are calculated. On the basis of the calculation, the effects of the different turn numbers and positions of short circuit on the temperature, thermal deformation, and thermal stress of rotor magnetic poles are further studied. It is concluded that the thermal stress of the winding adjacent to the shorted turn would decrease, the thermal stress of the winding farther away from the shorted winding would increase, and so on. The results of this paper can provide references for inter-turn short circuit fault diagnosis and lay a foundation for the further studies of related faults.

Hydrostatic thrust bearings have been the object of considerable research for many years. The attention that these bearings have received is primarily due to the important role they play in the design and operation of heavy equipment. In this role, the hydrostatic thrust bearing is often considered to be the “Achilles heel” of the total machine system as failures result in catastrophic difficulties and expensive repairs. The objectives of this research are to examine the nuances of designing a hydorstatic thrust bearing using a shallow pocket as opposed to the more traditional deep pocket design. By using a two-dimensional model for this geometry, the basic features of the shallow pocket design are extracted in closed-form and behaviors that would be expected in the three-dimensional setting are identified. In this research, a single dimensionless parameter is used to describe the influence of the bearing speed under laminar flow conditions. The principal results of this research are closed-form expression that describe the load carrying capcity of the bearing, the tilting moment exerted on the bearing by a skewed pressure distribution, and the volumetric leakage of the bearing. Sensitivity studies are conducted using these results and the influence of small perturbations of the pocket depth are identified for bearings with different pocket widths. These results are discussed and conclusions are itemized in the final section of the paper.

According to the structure of workbench and base of heavy hydrostatic bearing which is applied in heavy equipment, thermal deformation equations of the structure are deduced and boundary conditions for numerical simulation are established based on thermal elasticity theory. Then thermal deformation of hydrostatic bearing without load is calculated at different velocity. The results indicate that: temperature and velocity impacts a significant influence on thermal deformation of hydrostatic bearing. Thermal deformation increases as the velocity increases; workbench up-warps severely, oil-pad inclines towards outside to a certain extent, which results in the lubrication clearance emerges as wedge-shape deformation. The conclusions from thermal deformation calculation could provide theoretical basis for structure design of hydrostatic bearing and ravel out the thermal deformation problem.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of application of a heat pipe in an aspect of hydrostatic thrust bearings on thermal balance and deformation and the role of this application in increasing the rotating speed of a workbench. Design/methodology/approach Numerical simulations of oil film temperature field, the temperature field and thermal deformation of the bearing’s workbench and base were performed by finite element analysis (FEA) software for both the traditional hydrostatic thrust bearings and the heat pipe ones. Findings Oil pad and workbench of the hydrostatic thrust bearings are fabricated with a heat pipe cooling structure, which can take away most of the heat generated by shearing of the oil film, control the temperature rise and thermal deformation of the hydrostatic thrust bearing effectively, avoid the dry friction phenomenon and finally improve the processing quality of equipment.
