Leakage mechanism and dynamic response characteristics of double-seal O-ring structures in nuclear power engineering
This paper presents a flow resistance model for O-ring seals and establishes a MATLAB/SIMULINK simulation solver for predicting the dynamic response of a double-seal structure. The calculated values of the flow resistance at varying compression rates and gas pressures were evaluated and compared to the experimental data to validate the utility of the flow resistance model. The simulation solver is then applied to predict the dynamic leakage behavior of the double-seal structure under applied constant pressure steps and sinusoidal excitations, revealing their response characteristics as exponential and sinusoidal, respectively. The analysis further demonstrates that the key parameters of the dynamic response—including the time constant of the exponential response and the amplitude and phase of the sinusoidal response—are functions of the product of the flow resistance and the gas capacitance. Approximate analytical solutions for the dynamic leakage behavior of the double-seal structure under the two excitations are obtained by constructing an equivalent gas circuit model and neglecting the effects of state parameters on flow resistance and gas capacitance. A quantitative analysis indicates that the deviation between the approximate and simulated solutions is within 10%. The findings presented in this paper can inform the development of strategies to enhance the sealing performance of double-seal structures.
