Abstract
Abstract: Bearings for sugar mills are known to withstand high load and low speed operations. A temperature rise was detected in the warehouse of a sugar factory, when working in the polluted or contaminated environment of the sugar industry. Therefore, an experiment was conducted on brass (CuZn) plain bearings when lubricated with water with different flow rates. In this study, the rise in temperature of a plain bearing in a sugar factory was analyzed. By simulating the operating conditions in a sugar mill the causes for rise in temperature in the bearing were identified and commissioning in a plain bearing test rig that takes into account the combination of operating conditions (self-load, speed, dirt, lubricants, etc). Insufficient supply of internal lubricant can lead to plain bearing failure. This affects the production costs of the industry and can also endanger human lives. The brass journal bearing gives the best performance under the Q3 flow of water and also have lesser rise in temperature.
