Abstract:
A bearing assembly comprising a bearing shell, thrust bearing pads, and journal bearing pads, where the thrust bearing pads and/or the journal bearing pads have through-pad lubricating gas distributors comprising at least one of a porous layer having connected-through porosity, a dense layer having a plurality of at least six orifices defined therethrough, or a porous layer having connected-through porosity having a plurality of at least six orifices defined therethrough.

Claim (Index 17):
The bearing assembly according to  claim 16  further comprising:\n a first regulator associated with the one or more cooling gas injection ports for injecting cooling gas between the two adjacent journal bearing pads for flow and/or pressure control of cooling gas injected between the two adjacent journal bearing pads; and \n a second regulator associated with the one or more cooling gas injection ports for injecting the second cooling gas between the two adjacent thrust bearing pads for flow and/or pressure control of cooling gas injected between the two adjacent thrust bearing pads, \n wherein the first regulator associated with the one or more cooling gas injection ports for injecting cooling gas and the second flow regulator associated with the one or more cooling gas injection ports for injecting the second cooling gas are configured to provide independent control of the flow and/or pressure of cooling gas and the second cooling gas.
