Non-contacting gas lubricated face seals for high p x v-values
Abstract
The authors discuss recently developed mathematical fundamentals concerning the calculation of noncontacting gas lubricated face seals. They carried out extensive experiments using three different designs at pressures up to 10 MPa and sliding velocities up to 110 m/s. A comparison between the experimental results and the calculations indicates that a stable operation without wear can be ensured in all cases, provided that the materials and geometrical parameters of the seal have been properly chosen.
