API Seals

Multipoint system with greater clearance between components, providing improved flow distribution across the faces and reducing the risk of clogging.

Drive ring assembled with the locking ring enclosed, with no possibility of displacement during operation due to centrifugal force.

Differentiated faces, allowing greater radial displacement without loss of contact, preventing particle drag between the faces.

The anti-disaster floating ring features a travel of 1.5 mm above market standards. The quench outlet is dimensioned equivalent to an Ø 8 mm orifice, preventing centrifugation of micro-leakage in the front region of the overlay.

Pumping ring with special features, developed in the laboratory to promote increased circulation of the barrier fluid.

Drive Collar assembled with the locking ring enclosed without the possibility of coming out during work by centrifugal force.

The anti-disaster floating ring has a 1.5 mm ride above market standards, in addition to the output of the quench being proportional to a Ø 8 mm hole, preventing microleakage centrifugation on the front of the overlap.

Different seal faces, providing greater radial displacement.

Pumping ring with a special feature, developed in the laboratory to provide increased circulation of the barrier fluid, option for Plan 53.

Multipoint system, providing improved flow distribution across the faces.

Drive ring assembled with the locking ring enclosed, preventing displacement during operation due to centrifugal force.

In this step, the geometry of the faces with their dimensions is inserted, where the simulation will be done, as well as other application information, such as: face materials, spring load, pressure distribution, temperature distribution, liquid distribution, rotation , types of liquids and other design data. After entering all the data, the software performs the calculations and generates all the results in the form of graphs and figures.

This total deflection graph presents the deformation of the primary seals under the application conditions. The temperature gradient indicates the temperatures reached by the seal faces and their influence on deflection.

For technical analysis purposes, the graph is shown with a 100× magnification, allowing the visualization of small-magnitude deflections.

This line graph presents the fluid action and contact at the seal faces. The radius analysis indicates load concentration in the outer region of the face, associated with a tendency toward wear.

This line graph presents the opening of the seal faces (GAP), in microns, required for lubrication of the contact faces. The analysis indicates that the minimum opening occurs at the larger radius, a region that also concentrates the highest contact pressure observed in the previous figure, maintaining a controlled micro-leakage.

This line graph presents the temperatures reached by the seal contact faces, which are higher in the same region of greater contact pressure.

In addition to the graphs, the software also generates a report, as shown in the image. The document compiles the input data used in the simulation, as well as results such as sliding velocity and heat generation at the contact faces.

In this demonstration, the deflections caused by pressure and temperature are presented, indicated by color bands, as well as the sum of these effects, resulting in the final deflection value of the faces.

In this final section of the report, the main data resulting from the simulation are presented, including minimum seal opening, estimated leakage, energy consumption, required torque, average contact face temperature, liquid fraction at the contact face, and estimated contact pressure.
