The characteristics of a magnetic fluid seal and its motion, including the speed and pressure distribution, and the seal capacity of a magnetic fluid rotating seal were systematically described. The factors affecting seal capacity and ways to improve seal capacity based on the hydrodynamic model are discussed. The basic condition for dynamic seal availability is presented. The rotating speed and radius of the shafts should be decreased. The work can provide proof of a seal design or suggest ways to improve the seal capacity of magnetic fluid seals.展开更多

Based on the characteristics of theclearance flow between the seal and the piston, reasonable boundary conditions for Navier-Stokesequations are determined and the equations are modified, so that the final equations can describethe real flow state of the clearance flow. Through combining the final equations with finite elementmethod, the pressure distributions within the clearance field during the reciprocating motion ofthe piston and the leakage rate with the pressure are studied. The deflections of the seal whichaffect sealing performance are calculated as well. Sealing performance of piston seals using oil asthe working liquid is compared with using water. It is concluded that the seal using water as theworking liquid is under dry friction, which cannot be dealt with the theory of fluid mechanics. Theseal structure is only acceptable using oil as the working liquid..展开更多

In this paper, it was introduced that we designed and made a small axial flow pump, applying the magnetic coupling method. The pump consisted of two pump housings, a brushless DC motor, an impeller with five wanes, a pair of magnetic discs, a spacer, an inlet and an outlet areas , bearings, a support frame, and etc. The pump is made of titanium and is 125 mm length, 147 ml volume, total 380g of weight. Performances of outputting, sealing, heat creating and damage to blood by the pump were investigated in vitro experiment. Results showed for external experiment that: (1)The pressure created by the pump was 90 mmHg, the flow rates were 1.2 L/min, 4 L/min, 5.9 L/min and 7.8 L/min correspondingly to 5000 rpm, 6000 rpm, 7000 rpm and 8000rpm rotation speeds. The hydrodynamic performance of the axial flow blood pump was enough to meet a patient need when the blood pump was used as a left ventricular assistant device. (2)The hemolysis test was studied by the normalized index of hemolysis(NIH). The NIH result of the axial flow pump was 0.08 g/100 L. (3)The outside temperature of the pump didnt change obviously in 120 hours of rotation, and the sealing function was very well.展开更多
