Influence of Active Cooling at the Trailing Edge on the Thermal Behavior of a Tilting-Pad Journal Bearing

In tilting-pad journal bearings (TPJB) with a non-flooded lubrication concept, higher maximum pad temperatures occur than with a flooded bearing design due to the lower convective heat transfer at the pad edges. In this paper, we present an approach to influence the thermal behavior of a five-pad TP...
