Floating Ring Bearing(FRB)
• Low shaft motion• Relatively expensive• Limited lifespan
• Economic• Longer life span• Prone to
subsynchronous whirl
TC shaft motions virtual tool
Major challenges: extreme operating conditions
• - Low Oil Viscosity, e.g. 0W30 or 0W20
• - High Oil Temperature (up to 150°C)• - Low HTHS (2.9); Low Oil Pressure (1 bar)• - Increased Maximum Turbocharger Speed• - Variable Geometry Turbo Technology & Assisted e-power start up• - High Engine Vibration Level• - More Stringent Noise Requirements

(Semi & Fully) Floating Bearing Ring• Actual geometry (length, diameter, clearance) of inner and outer films, holes size and distribution• Supply conditions: temperature & pressure• Lubricant viscosity varies with temperature and shear rate (commercial oil)• Side hydrostatic load due to feed pressure • Temperature of casing • Temperature of rotor at turbine & compressor sides derived from semi-empirical model: temperature defect model
XLBRG® ETHD fluid film bearing model predicts operating clearance and oil viscosity (inner and outer films) and eccentricities (static and dynamic) as a function of shaft & ring speeds and applied (static & dynamic) loads.

Important:Massive amounts of time domain data rarely show any value (do not add knowledge nor establish firm design rules not even rules of thumb)
NL predictions: analyses in frequency domain
Analysis stresses on frequency domain analysis to build waterfalls, find total motion and synchronous motions, filtering of major whirl frequencies to determine effect on rotor elastic motions, calculation of forces transmitted to casing and rotor.
