A sliding bearing arrangement 1, of a direct driven wind turbine 2, comprises a bearing 3 having a first bearing shell 4 and a second bearing shell 5, rotatable with respect to each other. A predetermined clearance 6 is present between the first bearing shell 4 and the second bearing shell 5, while the bearing 3 is in rotation. A first circuit 7 comprising a first fluid is in thermal contact with the first bearing shell 4. A second circuit 8 comprising a second fluid is in thermal contact with the second bearing shell 5. The first circuit 7 and the second circuit 8 are coupled in a way that a difference in the temperature between the first bearing shell 4 and the second bearing shell 5 is compensated via the first and the second fluid, thus the clearance 6 is kept within a predetermined range. |
