Compressor radial bearing lubricant
Thread Content
I’m confused about the exact flow direction of the lubricant for the compressor’s radial bearings once it enters the bearings, and how it exits. Do anyone have any suggestions or animations that could help me understand this?
Under the effect of centrifugal force, it is flung against the wall of the bearing chamber, and then gravity causes it to flow toward the oil return pipe
Where is the opening of the oil return pipe, and how can oil be kept flowing continuously to the bearings?
