Heat dissipation: how to determine the heat flow of bearings in special applications is a complex problem. Generally speaking, it can be considered that the factors affecting the heat dissipation rate include: 1 Temperature gradient from bearing to bearing pedestal. This factor is affected by the size of the bearing pedestal and external cooling devices (e.g. fans, water cooling devices, etc.). 2. Temperature gradient from bearing to shaft. All other heat sources, such as gears and other bearings and adjacent components, affect the temperature of the shaft. 3. Heat carried away by circulating oil lubrication system. To some extent, factors 1 and 2 can vary depending on the application. Heat dissipation modes include heat conduction in the system, convection on internal and external surfaces and heat radiation between adjacent structures. In many applications, heat dissipation can be divided into two parts - the heat carried away by circulating oil and the heat dissipated through the structure. Heat is dissipated through the circulating oil system, and the heat taken away by the lubricating oil is easy to control. In the splash lubrication system, the cooling coil can be used to control the lubricating oil temperature.
The heat carried away by the lubricating oil in the circulating oil lubrication system can be calculated by the following formula. Qoil = k6 Cp ρ f ( θ o - θ i) Where: K6 = 1.67 x 10-5 (the unit of qoil is w) = 1.67 x 10-2 (the unit of qoil is BTU / min). If the circulating lubricating oil is mineral oil, the heat taken away can be calculated by the following formula: qoil = K5 F( θ o - θ i) The following coefficients apply to the heat and heat dissipation formulas listed on this page. Where: K5 = 28 (qoil unit is w, F unit is L / min, θ In ° C).
