Leakage and Stiffness Characteristics of Bionic Cluster Spiral Groove Dry Gas Seal

Spiral groove dry gas seal(S?DGS), the most widely used DGS in the world, encounters the problem of high leakage rate and inferior film stability when used in high?speed machinery equipment, which could not be well solved by optimization of geometrical parameters and molded line of spiral groove. A new type of bionic cluster spiral groove DGS(CS?DGS) is proved to have superior film stability than S?DGS at the condition of high?speed and low?pressure numerically. A bionic CS?DGS is experimentally investigated and compared with common S?DGS in order to provide evidence for theoretical study. The film thickness and leakage rate of both bionic spiral groove and common spiral groove DGS are measured and compared with each other and with theoretical values under different closing force at the condition of static pressure, high?speed and low?pressure, and the film stiffness and stiffness?leakage ratio of these two face seals are derived by the relationship between closing force and film thickness at the steady state. Experimental results agree well with the theory that the leakage and stiffness of bionic CS?DGS are superior to that of common S?DGS under the condition of high?speed and low?pressure, with the decreasing amplitude of 20% to 40% and the growth amplitude of 20%, respectively. The opening performance and stiffness characteristics of bionic CS?DGS are inferior to that of common S?DGS when rotation speed equals to 0 r/min. The proposed research provides a new method to measure the axis film stiffness of DGS, and validates the superior performance of bionic CS?DGS at the condition of high?speed and low?pressure experimentally.

目的:为了提高机械密封的摩擦学特性和密封性能,建立三维热弹性流体动力润滑理论模型来研究三角形织构对机械密封性能的影响,并针对航空轴向柱塞泵机械密封的实际工况,对织构的形状、排布和深度进行优化。创新点:1.建立机械密封热弹性流体动力润滑模型,揭示三角形织构在混合和全膜润滑条件下的减磨减漏机理。2.以低摩擦和低泄露为目标,采用数值模拟和实验方法,优化三角形织构的形状和排布方式。方法:1.通过理论推导,建立机械密封热弹性流体动力润滑模型,并与热流体动力润滑模型和流体动力润滑模型进行对比,发现热弹性流体动力模型更符合实际情况(图6~10);2.通过数值模拟,优化三角形织构的形状、排布以及深度(图14~22)。3.通过实验研究,测得织构端面温度,验证热弹流理论模型的正确性(图25)。结论:1.由于机械密封的热力变形,密封端面形成收敛性间隙,因此更有利于减少泄漏;2.与同向排布相比,相向排布的三角形织构能产生更强的流体动压效应,且内外径织构数目越多、数目差距越小时,动压效应越强;3.直角三角形织构的动压效应强于等边三角形织构,并且在一定工况下能产生足够的液膜承载力使密封端面开启。
