Abstract: A turbomachine face seal includes a turbine wheel with a cylindrical shaft extending from the turbine wheel, defining an axis of rotation. The shaft may include a heat throttle, such as a piston ring and groove assembly, or a shaft weld pocket having an annular heat choke groove. Circumscribing the shaft is a casing and a seal ring having a groove with a seal element. To cool the seal element, a pressurized oil jet is directed toward the casing, and impinges against the casing. The oil jet may be angled or parallel with the axis of rotation. The casing may be configured to trap oil from the oil jet to cool the seal element.

Abstract: A bearing element includes an inner surface (54) configured to receive a cylindrical shaft (18). The inner surface (54) includes a smooth profile having a plurality of sections (502). Each section (502) having a taper portion (506) between a first arc-span point (512) and a second arc-span point (514), a constant-radius portion (508) between the second arc-span point (514) and a third arc-span point (516), and a transition portion (510) between the third arc-span point (516) and a fourth arc-span point (518). An inner-surface radius dimension (520) changes from an inner-diameter major dimension to an inner-diameter minor dimension at the taper portion (506) and back at the transition portion.

Abstract: A bearing housing (12) for a turbocharger having a rotatable shaft (14) passing through the bearing housing (12) with journal bearings (30) having tilting pads (40) for supporting the rotatable shaft (14) in the bearing housing (12). The tilting pads (40) may have oil supply holes (50) through each pad (40) to direct lubrication to each pad surface (44). The journal bearings (30) preferably have a circumferential groove (52) on an outer surface of the bearing aligned with the oil supply holes (50) to help feed oil to the oil supply holes (50).

The shaft may include a heat throttle, such as a piston ring and groove assembly, or a shaft weld pocket having an annular heat choke groove. Circumscribing the shaft is a casing and a seal ring having a groove with a seal element. To cool the seal element, a pressurized oil jet is directed toward the casing, and impinges against the casing. The oil jet may be angled or parallel with the axis of rotation. The casing may be configured to trap oil from the oil jet to cool the seal element. A second oil jet may be used for additional cooling. Alternatively, the turbomachine face seal may include a bellows, positioned between the casing and the shaft, which restricts entry of gasses and contaminants into the face seal.

Abstract: A bearing system and method may include a first bearing assembly that may have an inner race. An outer race may be disposed around the inner race and may be rotatable relative to the inner race. A second bearing assembly may be disposed around the first bearing assembly. The second bearing assembly may be an air bearing. The outer race may be engageable with the inner race through the engagement mechanism that acts on the outer race so that the inner and outer races rotate together.

Abstract: A laser cutting device (100) is configured to etch an inner surface of a journal bearing (18). The laser cutting device (100) includes a laser (102); a beam directing tool (130) that receives a beam (108) emitted from the laser (102) and selectively changes the direction of travel of the beam (108); a fixture (170) that supports the journal bearing (18) in a desired position relative to the beam directing tool (130); an actuator (148) connected to one of the beam directing tool (130) and the fixture (170), the actuator (148) providing relative movement between the beam directing tool (130) and the fixture (170); and a controller (180) that controls the intensity and duration of the beam (108) emitted from the laser (102); and the actuator (148), whereby material can be removed from a surface of the journal bearing (18) to a precise width and depth, and in any pattern.

Abstract: A turbocharger rotating assembly (125) includes a shaft (20) rotatably supported in a bearing housing (123) via bearings (26, 128), a compressor impeller (18) mounted on the shaft (20), and an oil flinger (122) disposed on the shaft (20) between the bearings (26, 128) and the compressor impeller (18). The turbocharger (100) further includes an insert (134) disposed in the shaft-receiving axial bore (120) so as to surround the oil flinger (122), and a purge seal (160) operatively positioned in an interface (131) between the insert (134) and the oil flinger (122), whereby the purge seal (160) is configured to minimize oil passage from the bearing housing (123) into the interface (131). An annular cavity (150) encircles the radially outward-facing surface (138) of the insert (134), the cavity (150) forming a portion of a fluid path configured to deliver pressurized fluid to the interface (131).
