Abstract
The centrifugal seal has the advantages of simple structure, long service life and the cost is far lower than the dry gas seal. But under high-speed gas conditions, the temperature of the sealing fluid rises too high and low sealing pressure. This paper studies the gas centrifugal seal with continuous injection and discharge of sealing fluid, establishes a numerical model, simulates the gas-liquid two-phase flow field and temperature field in the sealing chamber. Revealing the effects of the speed and the sealing fluid flux on the sealing performance by comparing the changes in the sealing fluid pressure, temperature, and sealing capacity under different operating conditions. And the reliability of its application to gas mechanical seals is verified through experiments. The results show that at high speeds, the pumping compression effect of the sealing fluid is enhanced, and the sealing capability is improved. Within a certain range, increasing the flux of the sealing fluid can effectively reduce the temperature and prevent the sealing fluid from vaporizing, the continuous injection and discharge structure has a significant effect.
