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 12):
The bearing assembly according to  claim 10  further comprising:\n a 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; \n a temperature sensor operatively disposed to sense a temperature associated with one or more of the journal bearing pads; and \n a controller in signal communication with the temperature sensor and operatively disposed to receive signals from the temperature sensor, the controller operatively configured to control the regulator associated with the one or more cooling gas injection ports for injecting cooling gas between the two adjacent journal bearing pads responsive to the signals from the temperature sensor.
