Active hydrostatic bearing, particularly for internal combustion reciprocating engines, and a fluid handling system associated therewith

摘要

This invention relates to bearings, and more specifically is directed to active hydrostatic bearings destined for large heavily loaded reciprocating internal combustion engines, like ultra high compression ratio Diesel cycle engines, and homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) and detonation engines working on stoichiometric fuel/air mixture. A fluid handling system therefore, method and apparatus are also disclosed.
