Abstract
Hydraulic systems are crucial in ship and offshore engineering, where the severe marine environment demands excellent sealing performance. This study focused on the combined seals widely used in marine cranes, aiming to optimize their performance by applying the orthogonal design method. An elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) model was employed for simulations and was subsequently validated using an experimental setup. The design of the simulation tests was meticulously planned using an orthogonal table. The results including friction and leakage metrics for combined seals with varying structural and material parameters, were comprehensively analyzed. This analysis allowed for identifying key factors that significantly influence the seal's friction and leakage performance. Through optimization efforts, the friction of the combined seal is reduced to 90.63 %, while the leakage rate is simultaneously decreased to 87.43 %.
