Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of dry gas seal performance testing devices, and particularly relates to a dry gas seal full-end-face film pressure distribution testing device under zero-speed state. BACKGROUND

[0002] The dry gas seal is an advanced seal widely applied to the shaft end of rotating machinery such as compressors, centrifugal pumps and stirred tanks, and generally forms a gas film with certain carrying capacity and rigidity between the dynamic and static ring end faces by opening micron-depth dynamic pressure grooves or setting static pressure throttling structures, thereby realizing non-contact operation. The gas film rigidity and carrying capacity of the dry gas seal are crucial for balancing the sealing closing force and resisting external disturbances to form a stable gas film, and the values thereof depend on the end face gas film pressure distribution. On the other hand, the throttling gas of the orifice throttling static pressure dry gas seal will have a pressure drop and a rise near the orifice outlet, which is closely related to the micro-vibration and gas hammer self-vibration of the static pressure dry gas seal. As can be seen, the accurate testing of the dry gas seal end face film pressure distribution is of great significance for accurately calculating the gas film carrying capacity, the gas film rigidity and verifying the accuracy of the gas film pressure distribution numerical simulation results.

[0003] Chinese patent CN110296839A discloses a gas film pressure testing device and testing method for a gas bearing. The pressurized gas enters from the fixed static ring center placed in the upper part and flows out to the four sides, and the testing ring placed in the lower part can move along a certain fixed direction, thereby realizing the testing of the radial gas film pressure distribution of the bearing gap. Different from the static pressure gas bearing in which only one pressurized throttling gas enters the bearing gap, the outer diameter side of the annular sealing ring of the static pressure dry gas seal is provided with a pressurized sealing cavity, and the inner diameter side is a leakage cavity. At the same time, the gas film pressure changes along the radial and circumferential dimensions, so the existing static pressure gas bearing pressure distribution testing device cannot adapt to the testing of the full-end-face pressure distribution of the dry gas seal, especially the static pressure dry gas seal, because it does not have an external closed pressure cavity and can only realize the pressure distribution testing of one dimension in the radial direction. How to adjust the load borne by the gas lubricated component through an external structure to change the gas film thickness is also a key problem. The existing technology generally uses the method of adding weights to realize this, and this method can realize a relatively small range of load control, and the weights are difficult to realize continuous load adjustment.
