摘要/Abstract

摘要：

超临界CO₂压缩机干气密封因密封介质在临界点工况附近的物性特殊性和高参数化，密封间隙内介质流动呈现出多相流动、高度湍流化和物性畸变特征。以微段组合型槽干气密封为研究对象构建了轴向力平衡条件下考虑实际流体效应的超临界CO₂干气密封热动力润滑相变仿真模型，提出了密封端面热力学过程表征方法，研究了转速、进气压力和进气温度等运行工况参数对超临界CO₂干气密封端面热力学过程、流场参数和稳态性能的影响。结果表明：进气温度的提高对于抑制密封端面液相凝析效果显著；转速和进气压力的增大只能抑制槽区液相凝析，增大端面非液相区面积，但对密封坝气液混相区影响不大，当进气温度达到320 K和340 K时，端面纯液相区和气液混相区先后消失；提高非液相区面积，对于增大密封气膜刚度是有利的。

Abstract:

The dry gas seal of a supercritical CO₂ compressor exhibits unique properties and high parameterization near the critical point. The medium flow demonstrates characteristics of multiphase flow, intense turbulence, and property distortion in the sealing gap. Focusing on a segmented micro-grooved dry gas seal, a thermo-hydrodynamic lubrication phase-change simulation model is constructed for supercritical CO₂ dry gas seals, considering real fluid effects under axial force equilibrium. A method to characterize the thermodynamic processes on the seal face is proposed, and the effects of operating conditions, including rotating speed, inlet pressure, and inlet temperature, on the thermodynamic processes, flow field parameters, and steady-state performance of the seal are analyzed. The results indicate that increasing the inlet temperature significantly suppresses liquid-phase condensation on the seal face, while increasing the rotating speed and inlet pressure can only inhibit liquid-phase condensation in the groove region and increase the area of non-liquid phase area on the end face, but has little effect on the gas-liquid two-phase area of the sealing dam. When the inlet temperature reaches 320 K and 340 K, the pure liquid phase area and gas-liquid two-phase area on the end face disappear successively. Expanding the non-liquid phase area benefits the enhancement of the gas film stiffness of the seal.
