On the Possibilities of Decreasing Power Loss in Large Tilting Pad Thrust Bearings
Table 2
Comparison of power loss at the collar rim according to height of the collar immersion.
| | Component of power loss | Percentage of total power loss for various cases | | Large bearing | Medium size bearing, medium speed | Medium size bearing, high speed |
| | | Large immersion |
| | 0.2% | 1.4% | 2.5% | | 3.4% | 6.7% | 12.3% |
| | | Small immersion |
| | 0.1% | 0.8% | 1.5% | | 1.1% | 3.7% | 6.8% |
| | | Decrease of total power loss due to decreasing of collar immersion |
| | | 2.4% | 3.6% | 6.5% |
