Effect of bristle pack position on the rotordynamic characteristics of brush-labyrinth seals at various operating conditions

Over the last few decades, the research on the effect of bristle pack position on the rotordynamic characteristics of the brush-labyrinth seals is not sufficient. To this end, two kinds of brush-labyrinth seals for the bristle pack element installed upstream of the labyrinth teeth named BSU and installed downstream of the labyrinth teeth called BSD were used to investigate the effect of bristle pack position on the rotordynamic characteristics of the brush-labyrinth seals. Using the numerical model combining the porous medium model and the whirling rotor method, the rotordynamic characteristics of the BSU and BSD at various operating conditions including four kinds of pressure ratios, five kinds of inlet preswirl speeds and four kinds of rotor spinning speeds were conducted. The obtained results show that the effects of operating conditions on rotordynamic coefficients for the different seal configurations are different. The direct stiffness, cross-coupled stiffness and direct damping of the BSU are lower than those of the BSD. The rotordynamic coefficients of the BSU are more insensitive to the operating conditions variation. From the perspective of the seal stability, the BSU is a better brush-labyrinth seal configuration at high pressure ratio, high positive preswirl or high rotor spinning speed conditions. While in the case of low pressure ratio, low positive preswirl or low rotor spinning speed conditions, the BSD is a better choice.

为了在保证数值预测精度的同时降低离心压缩机的建模复杂度,以一维密封泄漏计算替代完整的密封及空腔建模,开展了离心压缩机盖盘密封及空腔流动的源项建模方法研究。结果表明:基于源项方法的密封及空腔简化建模仅需在主流道建模基础上施加泄漏质量流量、总温和摩擦损失源项边界条件,即可较高精度地还原完整的盖盘密封及空腔建模的性能和关键流动细节。与完整建模相比,在全工况下源项建模预测的等熵效率的绝对偏差小于0.65%,总压比和等熵效率的相对性能偏差小于1%。该方法可在满足下游部件匹配设计精度需求的同时,减少50%以上的网格数量,并显著提高计算的经济性和收敛性。泄漏流量的计算精确度是影响源项建模法性能预测准确性的最关键因素,耦合建模可以采用一维计算中推荐的密封泄漏系数值。      

Flow mechanism between purge flow and mainstream in different turbine rim seal configurations

The rim seal is used to prevent mainstream ingestion to the gap between the vane of a turbine and its blade. In this article, the dolphin lip with a hook configuration and a large seal cavity with hook structures are designed based on the high-pressure turbine datum single shark lip rim seal configuration. The sealing effect and parameters of the flow field are measured by an experiment method and a numerical simulation is used to explain the mechanism. For three configurations, the effect of the leakage slot vortex on the efficiency of the seal and the influence of leakage vortex, generated by the interaction between purge flow and mainstream flow, are discussed in depth. The result shows that the reverse vortex formed by the dolphin lip rim seal with hook structure will increase the sealing efficiency. The seal configuration with a large cavity improves sealing efficiency to a greater extent than the datum structure. At different purge flow rates and with unequal seal structures, the purge flow produces three types of leakage vortices in the passage. Besides, the seal configuration with dolphin lip produces a Kelvin-Helmholtz instability at the interface of the purge and the mainstream flows at a low purge flow rate to induce new leakage vortex branches in the passage of the blade.

Effect of protrusion amount on gas ingestion of radial rim seal

In this paper, the effect of different amount of protrusion on various parameters in rotor–stator system was experimentally studied by measuring CO₂ concentration and pressure, in order to obtain the optimal protrusion amount. The parameters of different dimensionless sealing flow were measured under the condition that the annulus Reynolds number was 4.39 × 10⁵ and the rotating Reynolds number was 1.05 × 10⁶. The results show that the change of the amount of protrusions has little effect on the static pressure in the cavity, and the static pressure change near the sealing ring is almost negligible. But the total pressure and sealing efficiency increase first and then decrease with the increase of the amount of protrusion. The variation of power consumption is the same. A complex vortex structure will appear at the high radius region when the protrusion is installed. On the other hand, the protrusion can effectively reduce the minimum sealing flow of the rotor–stator cavity. Furthermore, considering the sealing efficiency and power consumption, the best range of the protrusion amount is about 36. The ratio near this range can optimally balance the alleviation of the gas ingestion and the reduction of the power consumption.     

基于金属密封垫圈非线性变形仿真的预紧设计

为确保密封结构能有效阻止箱体内部介质的泄漏,要求密封面具备一定的密封比压,即通过施加合理的拧紧力矩来控制密封件的压缩量。目前主要采用试验方法验证一系列拧紧力矩下的密封效果,从而获取临界力矩值并确定可靠的拧紧力矩设计值。文章基于试验经验做出了合理的假设以建立简化的非线性有限元分析模型,对金属垫圈在压紧力下的塑性变形进行仿真,通过金属垫圈发生临界变形量的压紧力反推出拧紧力矩的临界值。该方法获取的临界力矩值与试验方法相近,可以有效地提高设计效率,降低试验成本。
