Preventing Ingress Contamination by Providing Bearing Cavity Pressurization
This presentation relates to bearing cavity protection where the bearing
cavity may be submerged underwater or operates in a harsh environment.
What we will discuss is the prevention of ingress contamination by
means of: (1.) Hermetically sealing the bearing cavity; (2.) Pressurizing the
bearing cavity with low air or nitrogen; (3.) Controlling the pressure in
the bearing cavity 24/7; (4.) Giving a visual and physical indication of the
amount of pressure; (5.) Indicate bearing cavity integrity 24/7. For an
attendee that has current contamination issues and has tried everything,
this presentation will give them an alternative method to prevent
ingress contamination with indication of bearing cavity integrity 24/7.
