Abstract:Aimed at the floating ring bearings(FRBs), the heat transferred between the inner film and outer film was calculated based on the floating ring balance model, the fluid lubrication model, and the heat dissipation model, which was considered as one of the conditions for lubrication analysis. The method to find the outer film eccentricity ratio without heat transfer through the floating ring was proposed. The lubrication performance of FRBs at different outer film eccentricity ratios and rotate speeds was analyzed. The results show that at different outer film eccentricity ratios, the heat transfer is totally different. There exists an outer film eccentricity ratio where there is no heat transfers between the inner film and outer film. The rotation speed affects the quantity of heat transfer between two films. As the rotate speed increases, the quantity of heat increare, too. The heat transfer has an effect on ring speed ratio. When considering the floating ring heat transfer, the temperature rise, the ring speed ratio, and the frictional power consumption change apparently.
