Optimization design of main parameters for double spiral grooves face seal

摘要

The optimization design of the parameters, such as the groove depth, groove number, ratio of the groove width to the land width, and spiral angle of a new kind of double spiral grooves face seal, which works under the condition of high velocity, high sealing pressure and ultra-low temperature, is presented under the assumption of fixed closure force by finite element analysis method. The results show that the stiffness of the maximum film can be obtained when the ratio of the groove width to the land width is 0.5 and the spiral angle is about 75 degrees, when the influence of the groove number on the sealing performance is not obvious.
