Abstract:
A rotary machine includes a shaft extending through the rotary machine; a bearing positioned around the shaft; and an air deflector mounted on the shaft between the bearing and the shaft, wherein the air deflector has a first cylindrical body portion that is connected to a second cylindrical body portion with a ramp portion. A method for cooling a bearing positioned around a rotating shaft includes providing air to a cavity that surrounds a rotating shaft; deflecting the air towards an inner surface of a bearing that is positioned radially outward of the rotating shaft, wherein the air is deflected with an air deflector that is mounted on the rotating shaft; and flowing the air between an outer surface of the air deflector and the inner surface of the bearing.

Claim (Index 13):
The method of  claim 11 , wherein flowing the air between the outer surface of the air deflector and the inner surface of the bearing will cool the bearing with convective heat transfer between the bearing and the air flowing across the inner surface of the bearing.
