Abstract:

The steady-state performance of bi-directional groove dry gas seal can be enhanced by new proposed geometrical model with strong representational capability and new introduced optimization method with strong global search ability. On the basis of analyzing the structural characteristics of typical bi-directional grooves of dry gas seals, a new type of unified model of bi-directional groove with variable spiral angle of hydrodynamic groove was proposed. The geometrical model and mathematical model of dry gas seal with unified model groove were established. The gas film pressure control equations were resolved by use of finite difference method, and the steady-state performance, such as opening force and film stiffness, were obtained. The effect of spiral angle of upstream and downstream hydrodynamic groove on steady-state performance was analyzed, and effect of three typical optimization methods, including single factor optimization, iterative optimization and genetic algorithm optimization, on the enhancement of steady-state performance of bi-directional groove under different working conditions were compared numerically. The results show that compared with the single-factor optimization of the two-way tree-shaped groove dry gas seal, the opening force and film stiffness obtained by the unified model groove dry gas seal based on genetic algorithm are significantly improved, and the maximum increase is 6% and 55% respectively. The bi-directional groove shaped like an aircraft wing with upstream spiral angle equals to 0°—90° and downstream spiral angle equals to 90°—180° possesses the maximum opening force and film stiffness under high-speed condition.

摘要:

通过提出表征能力更强的新型结构模型和引入全局寻优能力更强的智能优化算法以提高双向旋转槽干气密封的稳态密封性能。在综合分析国内外干气密封典型双向旋转槽结构特点的基础上,提出一种动压槽倾角可变的双向旋转槽统一模型。建立双向旋转槽干气密封的几何模型和数学模型,采用有限差分法求解端面膜压控制方程,获得开启力和气膜刚度等稳态性能参数。分析了动压槽倾斜角对干气密封稳态性能的影响规律,对比分析了不同速度条件下单因素优化、迭代优化和遗传算法优化等三种优化方法对提高双向旋转槽干气密封稳态性能的作用。结果表明:相较于以往双向树形槽干气密封单因素优化的结果,基于遗传算法的统一模型槽干气密封获得的开启力和气膜刚度显著提高,最大增幅分别达到6%和55%;在高速条件下,上游动压槽螺旋角为锐角,下游动压槽螺旋角为钝角的似机翼形双向旋转槽干气密封具有最大的开启力和气膜刚度。
