Measurement of oil film thickness and friction force on a guide shoe bearing
An experimental program was carried out in order to reveal oil film thickness, and friction force of the guide shoe bearing of a large two stroke marine diesel engine. The experiment was conducted on a full size engine located at the research facility at MAN B&W Diesel A/S. The experiment was conducted such that the influence from the experiment on the characteristics were as small as possible.
The objective of the experiment was to determine the frictional loss of this bearing and to check whether a suggested numerical model was applicable or not. Some future aspects for this bearing are presented regarding optimization.
