What is use of thrust pad in steam turbine?

Thrust pads are used to protect the steam turbine rotor from damage due to axial displacement due to axial thrust created by entry of steam in the turbine. generaly the pads clearence is 0.45mm for a bearing size 250mm.

What is the function of a turbine bearing?

A turbine bearing supports the rotating shaft of a turbine, allowing it to spin smoothly while minimizing friction and wear. It helps to maintain proper alignment and stability of the shaft during operation, which is crucial for efficient energy conversion. Additionally, turbine bearings can absorb vibrations and loads, contributing to the overall reliability and longevity of the turbine system. Proper lubrication and maintenance of these bearings are essential for optimal performance.


Is journal bearing the same as sleeve bearing?

yes, just different namesNo.A sleeve bearing relies on contact to support the load. These bearings can carry large loads for their size and cost. But, they are very limited with regard to speed. They are also the best bearing for joints that do not turn a full 360° or continuous rotation. Example: Door HingeA journal bearing relies on a film of oil to keep the two parts from making contact. They work on a dynamics basis; that is the rotation of the journal (shaft) pulls the oil through the high pressure zone via the viscosity of the oil. Unlike sleeve bearings, journal bearings like speed. They do not do well if they are moving too slowly. They are the most durable bearing known. Example: Engine crank shaft, piston connecting rod to crank.Joey Lloyd, PE

What is a steam turbine jacking oil system?

at the time of turbine start up, the shaft journals are in contact with the white metal of the bearings due to the weight of the rotor. The low pressure of the lubricating oil supply when the set is stationary is insufficient to stop the metal to metal contact between journals and bearing shells. In order to prevent the metal to metal contact between journal and bearing shell during start up, which is damaging in the long term, an oil pocket machined into the bottom shell of the journal bearing is supplied with oil under high pressure. This lifts the shafting system slightly and it floats on a film oil. this is called jacking oil system of turbine
