- Summary
- The results of the hydrodynamic journal type bearing phase of the salt- lubricated bearing development program at Oak Ridge National Laboratory are given. One test each of two hydrodynamic journal type bearings constructed or INOR-8 versus INOR-8 was performed with molten salt #130 (62 LiF, 37BeF, 1 UF/sub 4/ mole %) at 1200 deg F as the lubricant. The first bearing operated for twenty minutes and the test was terminated due to seizure of the bearing and journal. The second bearing operated for 500 hours during which fifty-seven stopstart tests were performed and hydrodynamic lubrication was attained for extended periods at 1200 rpm and 200 lb radial load. Termination of the test was as scheduled at the completion of 500 hours of operation. Plans are also included for fur her testing. (auth)
