The study of the influence of the viscosity grade of the supplied oil ISO VG32 and ISO VG46 in a wide range of rotor speeds and operating clearances on the local and integral characteristics of a thrust plain bearing with fixed pads of the compressor is presented. The studies were carried out using the Sm2Px3Txτ calculation program based on the results of numerical experiments of the bearing. The program is built by numerical implementation of a nonstationary periodic thermoelastohydrodynamic (PTEHD) mathematical model of the thrust bearing operation. The research results indicate a significant influence of the oil viscosity grade on the main characteristics and temperature conditions of the thrust bearing. When changing from ISO VG46 to the lighter oil ISO VG32, there is a noticeable reduction in bearing pad temperatures and power loss. However, the level of this change is determined by the specified operating clearance between the rotating thrust collar and the bearing pads. The influence of oil viscosity grade and the profile of the working surface on the temperature regime of the pad is analyzed. The value and location of the maximum temperature of the thrust bearing pad is determined, as well as the possibility of applying the standard point 75/75 from API-670 in practice.
