Fluid flow regime transition in water lubricated spiral grooved face seals
Résumé
Spiral grooves are used to enhance the generation of a fluid film between the sliding surfaces of a mechanical face seal when fluids with poor lubrication properties are to be sealed. This technical solution allows reducing asperity contact, wear, and friction during operation, due to the full film between the surfaces.
