Abstract

Compliant foil gas seal is a non-contact and high-efficiency sealing technology. The dynamic performance of compliant foil gas seal with different structure parameters was analyzed in this paper. These parameters include the seal diameter, gas film thickness and the ratio of groove. Compared with the rigid film, the advantage of compliant film is analyzed. The stability performance and dynamic performance with the different structures are obtained. The results show that the larger diameter is a disadvantage for the stability performance. However, the increase of seal length can decrease the leakage. Otherwise, the increase of gas thickness improves the dynamic characteristics with the leakage rising and gas force dramatically decreasing. While the groove length ratio is around 0.6, the seal performance and dynamic characteristics are best. The compliant structure benefits the improvement of the sealing performance.
