Abstract

The paper presents a technique for calculating forced axial oscillations and stability of impulse seals with tubular feeders. Unlike the existing methods of calculation, wherein, for the sake of simplicity, the influence of the feeder conductance is neglected, this article describes a conductance effect on the dynamic characteristics of the impulse face seal. The proposed calculation technique makes it possible to determine amplitudes of forced oscillations of the axially movable bushing and stability limit for the geometric parameters chosen in the static calculation. As an example, the authors described a calculation of the impulse face seal of the rotor of the main Reactor Coolant Pump (RCP 20000-100). The amplitude and phase-frequency characteristics for different values of the nominal gap are constructed.
