The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to GE Research (GE) to research and develop lubricated gas bearing technology to serve as enablers for advanced hermetically sealed configurations in supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) power cycles. The gas-lubricated bearings would be developed for use in place of oil-lubricated bearings and assessed for their potential application in concentrated solar power (CSP) applications.
