Analysis of Mechanical Seal Leakage within Hydrostatic on Nuclear Reactor Coolant Pump

Article Preview

Abstract:

According to the fluid hydrodynamic lubrication theory, and the structural characteristics of the convergence gap seal is combined, the effect of differential pressure and centrifugal force should be considered, then the convergent wedge gap mechanical seals flow field numerical model is established and the influence of the leakage factors are researched, including the geometric parameters and operating parameters. Research has shown that the amount of leakage and the seal clearance were positively correlated. And the larger turning Angle is, the bigger correlation becomes, however, it is negatively correlated with speed and turning radius, the seal leakage is impeded by the centrifugal force and the larger turning radius is, the smaller leakage becomes.
