COOLING OF A COMPRESSOR SHAFT GAS BEARING

COOLING OF A COMPRESSOR SHAFT GAS BEARING

A heat transfer circuit includes a compressor, a condenser, an expander, and an evaporator. The compressor includes a shaft that is rotated to compress a working fluid and a gas bearing to support the shaft. A conduit is configured to supply a portion of the working fluid to the compressor to cool t...

Zusammenfassung:A heat transfer circuit includes a compressor, a condenser, an expander, and an evaporator. The compressor includes a shaft that is rotated to compress a working fluid and a gas bearing to support the shaft. A conduit is configured to supply a portion of the working fluid to the compressor to cool the gas bearing. A method of controlling a heat transfer circuit includes directing a working fluid through a main flow path of the heat transfer circuit that directs the working fluid through a compressor, a condenser, an expander, an evaporator, and back to the compressor. The method also includes suppling supplying a portion of the working fluid in the main flow path to the compressor to cool a gas bearing of the compressor.
