Experimental Study of the Lubrication Mechanism for Thrust Slide Bearings in Scroll Compressors
This study focuses on the effect that a pressure difference across the orbiting thrust plate of a thrust-slide bearing has on the improved lubrication of the bearing in scroll compressor applications. A thrust slide bearing model submerged in a refrigerant oil, VG-56, was operated under pressurized conditions using R-22 as the pressurizing gas, where the pressure difference across the friction surface of the thrust bearing was adjusted from 0 to 1.0 MPa and the friction force and friction coefficient at the thrust slide bearing were measured over a range of orbital speeds. As a result, significant improvement in lubrication at the thrust slide bearing due to the pressure difference was identified. Furthermore, careful observation of the wear state of the thrust slide bearing revealed the formation of a fluid wedge between the sliding surfaces due to axial loadings. This fluid wedge appears responsible for the observed improvement in lubrication. In addition, the wedge formation was quantitatively investigated using finite element method (FEM) analysis of the elastic deformation of the thrust plate. The FEM analysis was subsequently validated through strain measurement on the thrust plate.
