Coupled Thermal-Structural Analysis of Mechanical Seal

Abstract:

Based on ANSYS software and combined with the theory trends on stern shaft seal performance, the steady-state thermal structure coupling and transient thermal structure coupling analysis of stern shaft mechanical seal had been carried on. It showed that the transient thermal structure coupling analysis was more close to the actual condition of stern shaft seal. The result of transient state analysis indicated the thermal-mechanical effect on seal face during starting, and showed that the contact area was decreased especially the temperture rise rapidly inside of the seal.
