This study designed a Bearing Test Bench to evaluate wear rates and gather crucial parameter data for water-lubricated bearing materials in the hydroelectric industry. It specifically focused on fluid film bearings, emphasizing the significance of operational parameters in achieving optimal hydrodynamic film formation. The research highlighted the environmental benefits of water-lubricated bearings and identified inconsistencies in current testing methods and standards. The test bench adhered to DNV-CP-0081 geometry.
