33 rd Turbomachinery Research Consortium Meeting Analyses of Pocket Damper Seals and Combined Labyrinth-Brush Seals TRC-SEAL Weilian Shan Graduate Research Assistant Luis San Andrés Mast-Childs Professor May 2013 Year I Predictions vs. Test Results for Leakage and Force Coefficients of a Fully Partitioned Pocket Damper Seal and a Labyrinth Seal – Limitations of the Current Computational Model TRC Project 32514/15196PD 1

Trends in High Performance Turbomachinery Higher speeds & more compact units Extreme operating temperatures and pressures More efficient & reliable Issues of Importance Reduce secondary flows (parasitic leakage) Reduce specific fuel consumption Increase power delivery Eliminate potential for rotordynamic instability Source: GE Energy Justification SEALSSEALS 2

Background Ertas, B. H., 2005, Ph.D. Dissertation, Texas A&M University Shaft (Rotor) Interstage shaft seal Impeller seal Balance piston seal Labyrinth seals (LS) in a straight- through compressor 3

Leakage model between sharp blade and rotor treated as an orifice. Sharp blades Rotor Flow Labyrinth seal Sharp blades Labyrinth seals reduce leakage

Disadvantages of labyrinth seals LSs provide limited effective damping and could even destabilize a whole rotor-bearing system. Direct damping coefficient is usually small, even negative. Large cross coupled stiffness drives rotor-bearing system instability. 5

About pocket damper seals Labyrinth Seals (LS) Add baffles Radial baffle Pocket Damper Seals (PDS) PDS leaks more than LS. PDS provides ++ more effective damping and reduces rotor vibration amplitudes more effectively than a LS. Baffles brake the evolution of the circumferential flow velocity 6 Vance, J. M., and Schultz, R. R., 1993 Vance, J. M., and Li, J., 1996

TAMU PDSeal© code (1999) Neumman leakage model Main flow equation Circumferential momentum equation Orifice Wall shear stress difference (Moody’s friction factor) Li, J., San Andrés, L., and Vance, J., Sharp blades

PDSeal predicts direct damping coefficients in agreement with test data. Direct stiffness & damping coefficients and leakage are weak functions of rotor speed. Cross-stiffnesses are typically small. PDSeal over predicts leakage (4- 10%) compared to test results. Li, J., San Andrés, L., Vance, J., Ransom, D., and Aguilar, R. 8 TAMU PDSeal© code (1999)

Progress in XLPDS© GUI created to interface with PDSEAL© GUI linked to XLTRC 2 suite to predict performance of pocket damper seals (sharp blades) (a) Leakage (b) Stiffness and damping coefficients vs. pressure difference, rotor speed and excitation frequency. Contact me for a demonstration on the use of the GUI.

Commercial PDS & FPDS Fully partitioned pocket damper seal (FPDS) Pocket damper seal (PDS) Ertas, B.H., Vance, J.M., 2007 Commercial PDS and FPDS have thick walls Original PDS had sharp blades 10

Direct Stiffness rotor speed 15 kpm preswirl ratios=0 & 0.45 Ertas, B.H., Delgado, A., Vannini, G., Fully partitioned pocket damper seal Labyrinth seal test pred testpred PDSeal© predicts well LS stiffness & misses stiffness for FPDS

Direct Damping Ertas, B.H., Delgado, A., Vannini, G., rotor speed 15 kpm preswirl ratios=0 & 0.45 Fully partitioned pocket damper seal Labyrinth seal PDSeal© predicts well LS damping & gives too little damping for FPDS test pred test pred

Cross Coupled Stiffness Ertas, B.H., Delgado, A., Vannini, G., test pred test pred PDSeal© predicts well cross stiffness for both seals rotor speed 15 kpm preswirl ratios=0 & 0.45 Fully partitioned pocket damper sealLabyrinth seal

Effective Damping Ertas, B.H., Delgado, A., Vannini, G., test pred testpred PDSeal© does a poor job in predicting the effective damping of a FPDS rotor speed 15 kpm preswirl ratios=0 & 0.45 Fully Partitioned pocket damper seal Labyrinth seal

Conclusions PDSeal© needs to be improved for better prediction for FPDS with thick walls. Predicted effective damping for FPDS is distinct from test data. 17

Why the differences? PDSeal© does not consider axial thickness of the partition walls FPDS with 4 pockets and 3cavities Original model of PDS with sharp teeth in TAMU PDS code PDS with 4 pockets and 3cavities 18

2013 Continuation Proposal to TRC Engineering Analyses for Pocket Damper Seals and Combined Labyrinth-Brush Seals 19 May 2013 Weilian Shan Graduate Research Assistant Luis San Andrés Mast-Childs Professor

Update bulk-flow flow model for PDS and FPDS. Model will include real gas properties including supercritical CO2 and steam. Perform more code calibrations: compare predictions to test data for leakage and force coefficients. Begin extensions of the model to include two- component mixtures (liquid and gas). 20 Proposed work Year II
