Effect of Microfluidic Grooves on the Performance of Liquid-Lubricated Mechanical Seals
In order to study the sealing characteristics of the spiral groove and rectangular groove mechanical seal rings under liquid lubrication,a three-dimensional lubricating liquid film model was established with Solidworks software,and the model was meshed by ICEM and imported into Fluent to analyze the leakage characteristics of the two groove seals.At the same time,the leakage of the rectangular groove changes sharply in the low-speed environment and tends to be stable in the high-speed environment.The leakage rate of the spiral groove is exactly the opposite of that of the rectangular groove in the whole service environment.
