Abstract

Abstract: Internal spiral groove dry gas seal (ISGDGS) are used to seal special positions of rotating machinery. There is an urgent need to address the problems caused by contacting of rotating and static rings during high-speed rotation of ISGDGS. The main aim of this study is to investigate the influence of spiral groove structural parameters on ISGDGS sealing performance. Fluid-solid-thermal coupling method was used to analysis the relationship of sealing performance (opening force, leakage, friction power, and gas film stiffness) and spiral-groove structural parameters. The test analysis method is used to study the sealing performance under four different structural parameters, and the obtained trends are the same as the analysis results. According to the analysis results, the value range of structural parameters for optimal sealing performance is proposed This thesis has provided a deeper insight into the influence of the structural parameters of end face on the sealing performance, and provides a basis for its optimal design.
