Bearings – The conventional lubricated journal bearings are multi-shoe semi-self-aligning, tilting padbearing. The self-adjusting action of these bearings result in high dampening properties in the individualbearings pads, thus, enabling the bearings to overcome instability and lessen vibration of the compressorshaft. The tilting pad also assures complete freedom from oil film whirl oil whip, which is aphenomenon that tends to be present with high rotating speeds in a lightly loaded bearing when runningat close to twice a critical speed. This oil whip is characterized by high amplitude shaft vibration at afrequency slightly less then one-half the rotative speed.
