Abstract
Component deformations have a significant effect on performance of high-pressure, end-face seals. Deflection analysis is necessary for prediction, control and understanding, but is often complicated by existing arrangements of support for seal faces. The common commercial design for both a stationary and a rotating seal face is the two-component assembly. A method for treating the effects of changes of pressure, general temperature and steady frictional heating is presented. Deflection sensitivities of a two-component assembly are expressed as ldquo;influence coefficients,” evaluated by finite element analysis of multiple load cases. The importance of radial Coulomb friction due to differential shrinkage at the interface of n two-component assembly is highlighted. Such friction gives rise to undesirable performance hysteresis. Once ldquo;influence coefficients” for a particular end-face seal have been evaluated by the method outlined in this report, the effect of various shape and material changes can be ...
