Abstract: A compressor includes a housing, a shaft that is rotated relative to the housing to compress a working fluid, and a foil bearing that supports the shaft. The foil bearing includes a top foil. The foil bearing is a foil gas bearing that is backed up by a ball bearing, or a mesh foil bearing with an actuator to compress a wire mesh dampener. A heat transfer circuit includes a compressor and a working fluid. The compressor includes a shaft that is rotated to compress the working fluid, and a foil bearing for supporting the shaft as it rotates.

Abstract: A porous gas bearing is disclosed. The porous gas bearing includes a housing having a fluid inlet and an aperture. A porous surface layer is disposed within the housing surrounding the aperture in a circumferential direction. The porous surface layer includes a plurality of segments arranged in a longitudinal direction of the aperture. The porous surface layer is in fluid communication with the fluid inlet. A damping system includes a plurality of dampers. The plurality of dampers is disposed circumferentially about the aperture. The plurality of dampers is arranged in between a first segment of the plurality of segments of the porous surface layer and a second segment of the plurality of segments of the porous surface layer.

Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for providing hot water for a hot water heater and heating capacity for a climate control system by utilizing a Stirling heat pump system. The Stirling heat pump may be partially integrated into an indoor unit of the climate control system and a hot water heater. An additional indoor heat exchanger may receive heating fluid from the Stirling heat pump system to provide heating capacity in addition to another indoor heat exchanger of the climate control system. Further, the heating fluid circuit of the Stirling heat pump system may be partially integrated into a hot water tank for heating water. A controller may direct the flow of heating fluid from the Stirling heat pump to the hot water tank and/or the climate control system based on a request for heating.
