Abstract
Sealing performance is a critical factor of high pressure valves. Sealing performance is mainly influenced by clearance basin, which is determined by the clearance height, roughness, temperature and pressure. This paper establishes a clearance basin model to study the sealing performance of high pressure valves. A relationship between the contact state and basin is established. The effects of sealing pressure and roughness are analyzed. Guidances on the selection of both sealing pressure and roughness are proposed. In addition, this paper indicates that the leakage rate grows exponentially as the clearance height increases from 0.5 μm to 3.5 μm. The effect of clearance height on the leakage rate is not obvious when the clearance height is less than 1.72 μm. Similarly, the effect of roughness on leakage rate is not negligible when the roughness is less than 0.4 μm. Notably, the effective flow rate can characterize the complexity of the clearance between hard sealing surface. Moreover, it can also ensure the sealing performance of high pressure valves with a good economy at the same time.
期刊介绍:
Flow Measurement and Instrumentation is dedicated to disseminating the latest research results on all aspects of flow measurement, in both closed conduits and open channels. The design of flow measurement systems involves a wide variety of multidisciplinary activities including modelling the flow sensor, the fluid flow and the sensor/fluid interactions through the use of computation techniques; the development of advanced transducer systems and their associated signal processing and the laboratory and field assessment of the overall system under ideal and disturbed conditions.
FMI is the essential forum for critical information exchange, and contributions are particularly encouraged in the following areas of interest:
Modelling: the application of mathematical and computational modelling to the interaction of fluid dynamics with flowmeters, including flowmeter behaviour, improved flowmeter design and installation problems. Application of CAD/CAE techniques to flowmeter modelling are eligible.
Design and development: the detailed design of the flowmeter head and/or signal processing aspects of novel flowmeters. Emphasis is given to papers identifying new sensor configurations, multisensor flow measurement systems, non-intrusive flow metering techniques and the application of microelectronic techniques in smart or intelligent systems.
Calibration techniques: including descriptions of new or existing calibration facilities and techniques, calibration data from different flowmeter types, and calibration intercomparison data from different laboratories.
Installation effect data: dealing with the effects of non-ideal flow conditions on flowmeters. Papers combining a theoretical understanding of flowmeter behaviour with experimental work are particularly welcome.
