Abstract:
An experimental investigation on the influence of stator rub-grooves on labyrinth seal leakage is presented in the present paper. In current labyrinth seal designs, abradable lands allow the rotor labyrinth teeth to rub grooves into the stator. These rub-grooves have a large influence on the seal leakage characteristic and impair the overall engine efficiency. To improve the understanding of rub-groove effects, discharge coefficients were determined using a plain nonrotating labyrinth seal model of scale 4:1 considering a wide variation of rub-groove geometries at different seal clearances.

Abstract:
The rotary seal is a key component of the aero engine. Under actual working conditions, most rotary seals always operate in an eccentric state (caused by installation errors), and when a large eccentricity occurs, it may lead to a large amount of gas leakage, resulting in a decrease in aero engine efficiency, which ultimately affects the reliability and life of the aero engine. Therefore, the effect of installation error on the rotary seal of the aero engine was studied in this research.

Centrifugal compressors are increasingly required to operate at higher pressures, speeds, and fluid density. In these conditions, compressors are susceptible to rotordynamic instabilities. To remedy this situation, labyrinth seals have sometimes been modified by using shunt injection. In shunt injection, the gas is taken from the diffuser or discharge volute and injected into an upstream chamber of the balance-piston labyrinth seal. The injection direction can be radial or against rotation. This study contains the first measured rotordynamic data for labyrinth seals with shunt injection. A com

Abstract Sediment erosion is one of the most challenging problems in hydropower plants in Nepal. The sediments like quartz erode the turbine components like runner blades, labyrinth seals and others. This study has focused on the erosion effects in different labyrinth seals of the Francis turbine. Labyrinth seals are non-contact seals used for minimizing unwanted leaks between stationary and rotating parts. The labyrinth consists of two parts: a static seal connected to the turbine covers and a rotating part connected to the runner. The labyrinth gap is small for a new turbine and so the leaka

Abstract:
Pocket damper seals perform a dual function: both sealing the pressurized gas around a rotating shaft and providing large amounts of vibration damping. The annular cavity between the labyrinth seal teeth is subdivided into separate annular cavities around the circumference of the rotor by partitioning walls. Also, the upstream and downstream teeth have different radial clearances to the rotor. These seals have been shown to provide a remarkable amount of direct damping to attenuate vibration in turbomachinery, but they generally leak more than conventional labyrinth seals if both seals have th

Labyrinth seals are utilized inside turbomachinery to provide noncontacting control of internal leakage. These seals can also play an important role in determining the rotordynamic stability of the machine. Traditional labyrinth seal models are based on bulk-flow assumptions where the fluid is assumed to behave as a rigid body affected by shear stress at the interfaces. To model the labyrinth seal cavity, a single, driven vortex is assumed and relationships for the shear stress and divergence angle of the through flow jet are developed. These models, while efficient to compute, typically show

The staggered labyrinth seal is widely used in aerospace, transportation, mining, and other fields due to its advantages of adapting to high speed, reliable sealing performance, and low or even frictionless friction between dynamic and static rotors.

This thesis investigates numerically the phenomenon of flutter in labyrinth seals. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods are used to predict the fluid forces produced in the labyrinth when one of the seal members is vibrating in its natural mode. The geometry of the seal, the vibrational characteristics and the flow characteristics are varied to determine their influence on the aeroelastic stability. The CFD results are used to develop a bulk-flow model for labyrinth seal flutter analysis. An aeroelastic design procedure for labyrinth seal is pro-posed.

Abstract:
The labyrinth seal is widely used in turbo machines to reduce leakage flow. The stability of the rotor is influenced by the labyrinth seal because of the driving forces generated in the seal. The working fluid usually has a circumferential velocity component before entering the seal; the ratio of circumferential velocity and shaft synchronous surface velocity is defined as pre-swirl rate. It has been observed that pre-swirl rate is an important factor affecting driving forces in the labyrinth seal thus affecting the stability of the rotor.

It was found that the cosine component of the seal-inlet swirl velocity disturbance W1C has a substantial impact on the cross-coupled stiffness, and that the correlations for W1C and W1S should be used to replace the historical guess that seal inlet W1C = 0 and W1S = 0.

Seals are considered one of the important flow elements of a turbomachinery device. Traditional labyrinth seals have proven their performance functionality by reducing leakage rates. Significant improvements on labyrinth seal functionality were obtained through altering the design geometry of labyrinth seals to prevent contamination across a seal and maintaining small leakage flowrates. This results in a windback seal that has only one tooth which continuously winds around the shaft like a screw thread. These seals are used in gas compressors to isolate the gas face seal from bearing oil. A pu

Abstract:
Abstract A simple non-dimensional model to describe the flutter onset of two-fin straight labyrinth seals [1] is extended to stepped seals. The effect of the axial displacement of the seal is analyzed first in isolation. It is shown that this fundamental mode is always stable. In a second step, the combination of axial and torsion displacements is used to determine the damping of modes with arbitrary torsion centers. It is concluded that the classical Abbot’s criterion stating that seals supported in the low-pressure side of the seal are stable provided that natural frequency of the mode is gr

Abstract:
Seal flows in labyrinth seals can produce fluid destabilization forces, which in turn can cause subsyncrhonous vibration in turbomachinery such as steam turbines and centrifugal compressors. In this study, an experiment measuring the dynamic coefficients of several types of labyrinth seal is conducted. Analytical results are obtained by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and are compared with experimental results. For the experiment, a 500mm diameter rotor was used so that size of the labyrinth seal can be close to the large-scale steam turbine. A rotor was excited in a circular whirl orbit at

Abstract:
Reviews current technology of internal labyrinth seals and concludes that internal leakage can reduce compressor efficiencies as much as 3 to 6 percent. Discusses limitations on abradable seals with tighter clearances and the effect of compressor surge on both types of seals. Proposes resiliently mounted seals as subject for future investigation to accommodate rotor movement without excessive seal wear.
