The work presented previously by To̸nder and Salant (1992) is extended and generalized. In that work it was shown that the fine, axially oriented striations found on some lip-seals, under certain conditions, could lead to the total suppression of leakage through a fully lubricated seal. In the present work the behavior of the lubricant annulus is studied, as are the conditions required for leakage suppression. If the latter are met, it is shown that when a certain parameter—here called the seal number—is increased, the lubricant annulus width will shrink. This will lead to a reduction of the friction force. It is further shown that the striated roughness will also generate a radial force or load capacity. This effect does not involve local cavitation.

AbstractIt is commonly known that the sealing performance of dynamic seals is significantly influenced by the surface finish. To reduce friction effect and leakage ratio, new generations of grooved lip or shaft have emerged, but only two computational models were performed up to now with a textured elastomeric lip: spiral groove in the axial direction or micro-cavities according to the circumferential direction. However, if the numerical results have confirmed the slight effect of the grooved lip on the rotary lip seal performances, it seems relevant to investigate the influence of such grooves on the reciprocating hydraulic rod seal behavior.Thus, the scope of this work is to perform a parametric study of the grooved lip throughout a one-dimensional elastohydrodynamic model by taking into account the elasticity of the lip and the shaft roughness.After confirming the validity of the current model, numerical simulations have been performed and compared with experiments. The effect of lip grooves on the hydraulic rod seal behavior in outstroke and instroke shaft motion has been underlined. Thereby, it is shown that the leakage and the average film thickness are sensible to both the depth and the density of the lip groove. Additionally, a slight effect of the pattern shape is observed on the friction force.

This study investigated the pressure drop generated in the power transfer unit (PTU). During water-way driving, this pressure drop could open the lips of an oil seal and caused critical problems, such as water intrusion into or oil leakage out of the PTU. Optimal design of oil seal shape was proposed in order to prevent the unexpected failure of oil seal. As the result of the test to check the effects of the vacuum pressure, it was found that outside water was flowed into inside at - 0.4 bar for dust lip without any interference, whereas, there was no intrusion of outside weater through the seal with interferences of dust lips even at - 0.8 bar. But the seal with interferences of dust lips had 30~40 % higher than that without interference because the interference of dust lip with shaft made friction force increased at the interface between rubber and shaft.

Seals are used in hydraulic actuators or any other hydraulic devices to prevent passing of hydraulic fluid from one chamber to another, or to prevent external leakage and entry of any foreign contaminants. The primary function of any hydraulic actuator is to efficiently use hydraulic power to drive a load experienced during movement of control surfaces or movable aircraft structure. Efficient sealing helps in achieving this, but with its own friction which should be as minimal as possible. Thus, the estimation of seal friction force has crucial significance in hydraulic actuators, especially in flight control actuators that demand high performance and dynamic behavior characteristics while efficiently driving the load. This paper details the methodology adopted for theoretical estimation of total seal friction force of actuator as well as description of experimental test set-up and test method followed to record the total friction value at different positions of the actuator. The theoretical estimation was done using empirical formulae and graphs for predicting seal friction force by considering the effects of seal squeeze, hydraulic pressure, seal dimensions, seal material and then interpolating the same for the specific type of seals used. An experimental study is also presented in this paper, which can be conducted to validate the theoretically estimated value after building up of development prototypes. The validation is necessary as seal friction force calculation during design phase is an approximation and accurate friction of every seal is difficult to measure as it depends on a number of parameters. Thus, this paper explains the subject issue with the help of a case study which provides the theoretical estimation as well as its validation through an experiment to study this significant aspect of a hydraulic actuator design.

Finger seals are a new type of seal with good sealing performance and long service life. The noncontacting feature relies on the gas film force. However, when the seal works in an unsuitable environment or its design parameters are not reasonable, the lifting pad may not be able to generate sufficient air film force. This causes contact between the fingers and the rotor, resulting in a reduced service life of the seal. In view of this situation, this paper proposes a method that can quickly determine whether there is enough gas film force to lift the sealing finger at the design stage. The aeroelastic coupling characteristics of the noncontacting finger seal are studied in conditions where contact exists between the fingers and the rotor. The influences of various environmental and key structural parameters on the number of contact fingers, leakage, bearing force, and friction moment are studied. The results show that the pressure difference, eccentricity, and key design parameters have important effects on the number of contact fingers. The effect of rotation speed is relatively small. This paper provides a time-efficient tool for the design of noncontacting finger seals, which can quickly predict the performance of the sealing system.

Abstract In order to achieve high-precision pneumatic cylinder friction test, this paper proposes a new direct measurement method based on electric cylinder in which the axially acting forces from the compressed air in the two facing pneumatic cylinders cancel each other out and the detected value of the force transducer is just friction. For the sake of the implementation of the method, a new low-cost test method for identifying deadband of proportional directional valve was proposed, and a set of fuzzy PI constant pressure control system was designed to cope with a certain degree of leakage in the chamber. Based on the above, a friction test platform with two pneumatic cylinders facing each other was eventually built to study the influence of pressure, pressure difference, and piston speed on the friction of two commonly used different types of pneumatic cylinders. Through multiple sets of tests, it is found that when the lip seals are used in pairs between the piston and the inner wall of the cylinder, the friction between the piston and the cylinder is only related to the sum of the two chamber pressures, but not to the pressure difference between the two chambers. When the O-ring seal is used between the piston and the inner wall of the cylinder, the friction between the piston and the cylinder is related not only to the pressure of the two chambers, but also to the pressure difference between the two chambers. In addition, a series of comparative tests with the traditional single-cylinder friction test method directly demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed new method.

It is shown in Part 1 of this work (Stakenborg et al., 1990) that dynamic excitation of a radial lip seal will result in nonuniform clearances, due to viscous and inertial seal material behavior. These clearances are filled with fluid. Due to entrainment effects in a converging part of the clearance, fluid pressures will develop, which are sufficiently high to overcome the radial preload. These fluid pressures are excellently described by short bearing theory. The viscous and inertial effects can lead to a type of full film lubrication which is designated visco-elastohydrodynamic (VEHD) lubrication. VEHD lubrication addresses the (apparent) parallel fluid film lubrication problem in radial lip seals. At present, it is the only macro-hydrodynamic theory that results in calculated fluid film thicknesses, friction torques and leakage rates that are in agreement with experimental data. A novel feature of VEHD lubrication is the increase of frictional torque with decreasing viscosity under conditions of full film lubrication and low viscosity values, hitherto believed to be mixed lubrication.

In straight-through centrifugal pumps, a grooved seal acts as a balance piston to equilibrate the full pressure rise across the pump. As the groove pattern breaks the development of fluid swirl, this seal type offers lesser leakage and lower cross-coupled stiffnesses than a similar size and clearance annular seal. Bulk-flow models (BFMs) predict expediently the static and dynamic force characteristics of annular seals; however they lack accuracy for grooved seals. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods give more accurate results, but are not computationally efficient. This paper presents a modified BFM to predict the rotordynamic force coefficients of shallow depth, circumferentially grooved liquid seals with an accuracy comparable to a CFD solution but with a simulation time of bulk-flow analyses. The procedure utilizes the results of CFD to evaluate the bulk flow velocity field and the friction factors for a 73 grooves annular seal (depth/clearance dg/Cr = 0.98 and length/diameter L/D = 0.9) operating under various sets of axial pressure drop and rotor speed. In a groove, the flow divides into a jet through the film land and a strong recirculation zone. The penetration angle (α), specifying the streamline separation in the groove cavity, is a function of the operating conditions; an increase in rotor speed or a lower pressure difference increases α. This angle plays a prominent role to evaluate the stator friction factor and has a marked influence on the seal direct stiffness. In the bulk-flow code, the friction factor model (f = nRem) is modified with the CFD extracted penetration angle (α) to account for the flow separation in the groove cavity. The flow rate predicted by the modified bulk-flow code shows good agreement with the measured result (6% difference). A perturbation of the flow field is performed on the bulk-flow equations to evaluate the reaction forces on the rotor surface. Compared to the rotordynamic force coefficients derived from the CFD results, the modified bulk-flow code predicts rotordynamic force coefficients within 10%, except that the cross-coupled damping coefficient is over-predicted up to 14%. An example test seal with a few grooves (L/D = 0.5, dg/Cr = 2.5) serves to further validate the predictions of the modified BFM. Compared to the original bulk-flow analysis, the current method shows a significant improvement in the predicted rotordynamic force coefficients, the direct stiffness and damping coefficients, in particular.

Based on a type of three-dimensional slice model of a brush seal combined with the commercial CFD software FLUENT, the study calculated the leakage flow of the brush seal. The aerodynamic forces applied on upstream and downstream bristles are analyzed and reduced to a smaller amount of point forces for analysis convenience. The frictional coefficient between the bristle material Haynes 25 and rotor material 1Cr14Mn14Ni are tested. Tip forces including normal reaction and frictional forces caused by aerodynamic forces are quantitatively investigated under conditions with and without frictions using the torque balance principle and nonlinear beam theory (by ANSYS simulations), respectively. Torques, frictional heats, and the temperature distributions of the rotor and bristle pack are studied further. Details and characteristics of the flow and temperature distributions inside the bristle pack are presented. In the experiments, besides traditional tests, such as leakage and torque tests, an infrared camera is employed to capture temperature distributions at the interface of the rotor, bristle pack and nearby zones under various pressure differentials and rotation speeds. The three-dimensional slice model is firstly verified by calculating the leakages, torques and temperature distributions of the brush seal and confirmed via experimentation. The influence of various frictional coefficients and pressure differentials on tip forces, torque and temperature distributions are also examined.

As a type of contacting seal technology, brush seals provide superior sealing performance and flexible behavior. Brush seals have found increasing application in more challenging high-temperature locations in recent years. Thus, the frictional heat generation between the seal bristles and mating surfaces is becoming another major concern for stable operation of brush seals. This study presents detailed investigations on the conjugate heat transfer behavior of brush seals using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Finite Element Method (FEM) approaches. A dual-energy equation was proposed to describe the conjugate heat transfer in the porous bristle pack region under local thermal non-equilibrium conditions. The heat transfer CFD model was established with consideration of anisotropic thermal conductivity and a radius-dependent porosity of the bristle pack. The frictional heat generation was calculated from the product of the bristle-rotor frictional force and sliding velocity. The bristle-rotor frictional force was obtained from the brush seal FEM model with consideration of internal friction and aerodynamic load on the bristles. The temperature distribution of the brush seal was predicted at various operational conditions using the iterative CFD and FEM brush seal model. The effects of pressure ratios and rotational speeds on the temperature distribution and bristle maximum temperature of the brush seal were investigated based on the developed numerical approach. The effect of frictional heat generation on brush seal leakage was also analyzed.

Weld ring type gaskets are relatively common in the refining and petrochemical industries. These gasket configurations usually consist of two steel rings, fillet-welded to each of the mating flanges with another seal weld between the lips of the two rings. These seal welds or lip seals are sometimes prone to in-service cracking that can eventually lead to leakage and costly equipment downtime. One particular design feature that can significantly influence the propensity for leakage is the shape of the weld rings; flat-lip weld rings or hollow-lip (Omega-seal) weld rings are the two most commonly used designs. The hollow-lip designs inherently offer more flexibility and can generally accommodate more differential radial thermal expansion between mating flanges. This paper highlights a case study of a high-pressure heat exchanger where the shell side-to-tube side girth flange joint is fitted with a weld ring gasket configuration. Comparisons are made using detailed finite element analysis (FEA) that include bolt pretension and pressure-temperature loading. Sensitivity to lip seal design, temperature profile, and assumed friction coefficient between seating surfaces is also investigated. Furthermore, general commentary on flat and hollow lip weld ring gasket geometries is provided with design recommendations for different applications. In summary, the flat-lip seal weld experiences high shear stress, even with small amounts of differential temperature between flanges, which makes it prone to cracking. The added compliance of the hollow-lip seal design can minimize stresses in the seal weld, but understanding operating temperature differentials between mating flanges represents a key aspect of ensuring leak-free operation. The design of a diaphragm seal on a flat heat exchanger channel cover is also evaluated using FEA techniques, with sensitivity analysis on the size of the external fillet weld and diaphragm material specification. The analysis techniques presented in this paper offer valuable insight into establishing damage tolerant weld ring gasket and diaphragm seal designs to minimize the potential for leakage and to optimize critical gasket and bolting parameters.

In turbomachinery, seals are used to prevent fluid leakage. At seal part, rotordynamic fluid force (RD fluid force), which causes whirling motion of rotor, is generated. Under certain conditions, the RD fluid force may contribute to instability of the machine. There are several cases that the whirling is accompanied by eccentricity due to the influence of gravity, or the whirling orbit becomes elliptical due to the influence of the bearing support anisotropy. In these cases, mathematical modeling of the RD fluid forces becomes increasingly complex. As a result, the RD fluid force measurement is more preferable. To improve the measurement and evaluation technology of the RD fluid force, a method to arbitrarily control whirling of the orbit is required. In this paper, RD fluid force measurement by controlling the shape of the orbit using an active magnetic bearing (AMB) is proposed. A contact type mechanical seal is used as a test specimen. When the rotating shaft is whirling, the RD fluid force due to hydrodynamics lubrication and the frictional force due to contact occur on the sliding surface. The resultant force of these forces is taken as the reaction force of mechanical seal and the measurement is performed. The measured reaction force of the mechanical seal is compared with simulation results and the validity of the proposed measurement method is confirmed.

Design, modeling, and analysis of a novel in-plane cantilever apex seal for maintaining high compression ratios in a MEMS-based rotary internal combustion engine are presented. This work is part of an effort to create a portable, MEMS-based Rotary Engine Power System (MEMS REPS) capable of producing power on the order of tens of milliwatts and with an energy density better than that of a conventional battery. A Wankel-type rotary engine is advantageous for a MEMS-based internal combustion engine due to its planar geometry, self-valving operation, and few moving parts. Large scale rotary engines typically incorporate a complex apex and face sealing system composed of many parts and involved assembly. A MEMS-based apex seal system can be incorporated as part of the rotor in order to eliminate manual assembly. The seal system must also have a minimal footprint and closely follow the epitrochoid profile in order to effectively integrate with the other engine systems. Based on these objectives, an integrated in-plane cantilever apex seal system can be integrated into the rotor with a small footprint. The first step in the development of the MEMS REPS is an air-powered expander which can be used to demonstrate electrical generator operation, engine rotation, and apex seal operation. The apex seals discussed here are optimized for use in an air-powered expander. A performance analysis of this flexure apex seal design is performed which examines 4 major performance constraints: resonant frequency, strain, pressure, and power dissipation. In addition, the seal design also accounts for fabrication tolerances of thick deep reactive ion etching (DRIE). During operation, dynamic effects due to combustion process and mechanical translation may drive the flexures into resonance, leading to galloping of the cantilever tips. Galloping will result in large leakage paths, thereby, reducing the compression ratio. A 0.25% strain limit is imposed to minimize the effect of fatigue on seal performance. Pre-compressed apex seals are used to counteract forces generated on the apex seal due to a pressure differential. The apex seal is also designed to minimize the power dissipated due to frictional losses. To model the cantilever apex seal, two different loading conditions are examined. One condition is distinguished by point loading at the tip, when contact is made between the seal and housing wall. Another condition is characterized by a distributed loading, due to the changing pressure by both the compression and the combustion events. Analytical models in addition to a finite element analysis were performed.

The paper introduces a bulk-flow model for prediction of the static and dynamic force coefficients of angled injection Lomakin bearings. The analysis accounts for the flow interaction between the injection orifices, the supply circumferential groove, and the thin film lands. A one control-volume model in the groove is coupled to a bulk-flow model within the film lands of the bearing. Bernoulli-type relationships provide closure at the flow interfaces. Flow turbulence is accounted for with shear stress parameters and Moody’s friction factors. The flow equations are solved numerically using a robust computational method. Comparisons between predictions and experimental results for a tangential-against-rotation injection water Lomakin bearing show the novel model predicts well the leakage and direct stiffness and damping coefficients. Computed cross-coupled stiffness coefficients follow the experimental trends for increasing rotor speeds and supply pressures, but quantitative agreement remains poor. A parameter investigation evidences the effects of the groove and land geometries on the Lomakin bearing flowrate and force coefficients. The orifice injection angle does not influence the bearing static performance, although it largely affects its stability characteristics through the evolution of the cross-coupled stiffnesses. The predictions confirm the promising stabilizing effect of the tangential-against-rotation injection configuration. Two design parameters, comprising the feed orifices area and groove geometry, define the static and dynamic performance of Lomakin bearing. The analysis also shows that the film land clearance and length have a larger impact on the Lomakin bearing rotordynamic behavior than its groove depth and length.
