Abstract
A novel porous tilting pad gas bearing (PTPGB) with hermetic squeeze film dampers based on multilayer diaphragm structure (MLD-HSFD) is proposed for oil-free turbomachinery. A dynamic model of MLD-HSFDs including the frequency dependence effect is presented by considering the compressibility of the damper fluid. An experimental test rig was assembled to measure the performance of MLD-HSFDs. The model predicts well the test data, including the frequency dependence of force coefficients. A comprehensive theoretical model of PTPGBs with MLD-HSFDs is proposed based on the implementation of the isothermal compressible Reynolds equation coupled to a flexible support and porous models. The effects of thickness of diaphragms thickness, bearing clearance, and supply pressure on bearing performance are discussed.
