Anybody can share design and operating experience of gas bearing in LNG centrifugal compressors ?
 
I doubt you're gonna find much as far as gas bearings used with that large of a machine. We use gas foil bearings, but for light-loads. Are you talking about aerodynamic or aerostatic? The largest areas of information on gas bearings, I think, are with TA&M TurboLab and NASA.
