Geometric Effects on Pressure Distribution in Mechanical Face Seals

기계평면시일의 기하학적 형태가 압력분포에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구

The effects of angular misalignment, coning and the temperature difference between the primary seal ring and the seal seat on the pressure distribution in mechanical face seals are analyzed. The modified Reynolds equation for the temperature dependent viscosity was solved by a finite difference approximation and Gauss-Seidel method. It is shown that the amplitude of pressure is significantly affected by the misalignment of the seals and a large temperature difference between the rotor and the stator.
