Effect of Cooling Flow on the Operation of a Hot Rotor-Gas Foil Bearing System

Gas foil bearings (GFBs) operating at high temperature rely on thermal management procedures that supply needed cooling flow streams to keep the bearing and rotor from overheating. Poor thermal management not only makes systems inefficient and costly to operate but could also cause bearing seizure a...
