Abstract:

Seal performance of a novel gas mechanical face seal with semi salix leaf textures was introduced and theoretically investigated with the purpose of enhancing hydrostatic and hydrodynamic opening performance. First, a theoretical model of a laser surface textured gas mechanical face seal with semi salix leaf textures was developed. Second, the impact of operating and texturing parameters on open force, leakage, and friction torque was numerically investigated and has been discussed based on gas lubrication theory. Numerical results demonstrate that the semi salix leaf textured gas face seal has larger hydrostatic and hydrodynamic effects than the semi ellipse textured seal because of the effect of the inlet groove. All semi salix leaf textured surfaces had better open performance than the semi ellipse textured surface, which means that the inlet groove plays an important role in improving open performance and consequently decreasing contact friction during the start-up stage. Texturing parameters also influenced the seal performance of thee semi salix leaf textured gas face seal. When the inclination angle was 50◦, the radial proportion of the inlet groove was 0.8, the dimple number was 9, and the open force resulted in the maximum value. This research has demonstrated the positive effects of the applications of a semi salix leaf textured gas mechanical face seal that combines the excellent hydrostatic and hydrodynamic effects of groove texture and the excellent wear resistance of microporous textures.
