干气密封环端面结构参数正交优化及热变形研究

Thermal Analysis and Optimization of Structural Parameters for Dry Gas Seal Rings

泄漏是干气密封失效的主要形式,而密封环端面又是主要的泄漏通道.针对特定工况,利用密封环的结构参数对密封气膜性能的影响程度,通过有限元正交仿真,来优选密封环的端面结构参数;另外,利用稳态热分布的有限元仿真,通过热-结构耦合,获得密封动环的热变形及动环材料属性对密封特性的影响关系.研究结果显示,除弹性模量之外,导热系数、Poisson(泊松)比和热膨胀系数均与密封动环的热变形成拟线性关系.研究结果对干气密封环的优化设计具有指导和参考价值.

Leakage is the primary failure form of the dry gas seal, while the end face of the seal ring makes the main leaking channel. For some specific conditions, based on the relationships between the structural parameters and the gas film properties of the seal ring, the methods of finite element simulation and orthogonal optimization were used to select a better combination of the seal ring end face structural parameters. In addition, the steady-state heat distribution of the seal ring was simulated. On the basis of that, the thermal deformation of the seal ring was computed to explore the relationships between the material parameters and the sealing properties of the seal ring. The research results show that, except the elastic modulus, the thermal conductivity, Poisson＇ s ratio and thermal expansion coefficient are all in a quasi-linear relationship with the thermal deformation of the seal ring. The work has guiding significance and reference value for the design and optimization of dry gas seal rings.
