ABSTRACT:
A compressor includes impeller rotors, a rotatable shaft upon which the impeller rotors are mounted, and tilting pad journal bearings having a ceramics bearing surface. The rotatable shaft is journalled by the tilting pad journal bearings which is arranged to be self generating and air or gas lubricated. The tilting pad self generating bearings reduce frictional losses and the ceramics bearing surfaces prevent problems commonly caused by high speed and temperature generated at bearings.
