Numerical Calculation of the Sealing Performance of Regular Polygon Microporous Texture
In order to improve the fluid dynamic pressure and sealing performance of mechanical seal face,a regular polygon sur-face texture was proposed.The sealing face models of regular trigonal,regular quadrilateral and regular pentagonal textures were established.Numerical simulation was used to calculate the fluid pressure distribution of the sealing face with regular tri-sided,regular quadrilateral and regular pentagonal texture.The regular polygon texture on the influence law of mechanical seal sealing performance.According to the results,when the texture area ratio S=(12~16)%,the texture depth hp≈3μm,and the sealing clear-ance h0≈2μm,the sealing performance of the sealing end faces of the regular trigonal,regular quadrilateral and regular pentag-onal textures is better.The regular pentagon texture has a larger region of high pressure than the regular trilateral texture and the regular quadrilateral texture.The regular pentagon texture has better sealing performance than the regular trilateral texture and the regular quadrilateral texture.
