A hydropower station is a power generation facility that converts water energy into electrical energy. It contains multiple important equipment. Which of these equipment requires sliding bearings to support and help their operation?

Turbine: A turbine is a device that converts water energy into mechanical energy. Its rotor is usually supported by turbine blades and bearings. Sliding bearings are widely used in turbine bearing supports to reduce friction between the shaft and bearings and improve the rotation efficiency of the rotor.

Generator: A generator is a device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. In a generator, sliding bearings are usually used to support the bearing seat of the generator rotor to reduce friction and wear and ensure the smooth operation of the rotor.

Water pump: A water pump is used to transport water and is widely used in hydropower stations. Sliding bearings are used in the rotating parts of the water pump, such as the impeller and the bearing seat, to reduce friction and maintain the smooth operation of the rotor.

Valves: Valves in hydropower stations control the flow and pressure of water. Sliding bearings are used in the bearing seat supporting the valve stem and the rotating parts connected to the valve stem to ensure the flexible movement of the valve.

Water pipelines: Water pipelines are an important part of transporting water to generators and other equipment. On the brackets supporting the water pipelines, sliding bearings are used to reduce friction between the pipeline and the bracket to ensure the normal operation of the pipeline.

In general, turbines, generator sets, water pumps, valves, water pipelines and other equipment cannot do without sliding bearings. The application of sliding bearings can reduce friction, improve efficiency and help various equipment to operate normally.
