ABSTRACT

A bearing system is capable of accurately and simultaneously securing a load
capacity of a slide bearing and reducing friction without complicating
control. The slide bearing of the bearing system includes: two groove portions
that are formed on a sliding surface thereof and extend in a radial direction
and a circumferential direction, and these groove portions divide the sliding
surface of the slide bearing into a plurality of divided sections in an axial
direction. The slide bearing also includes: a discharge hole that is formed in
the groove portions to discharge a fluid from the slide bearing; and supply
holes for supplying the fluid to the divided sections, which are divided by
the groove portions. The slide bearing further supplies oil and CO 2
refrigerant having different viscosities from the respective supply holes, to
the one divided section of the plurality of divided sections.
