Influence of Seal Leakage of Centrifugal Compressor on Compressor Performance

Influence of Seal Leakage of Centrifugal Compressor on Compressor Performance
Jan 04, 2023
Author: DEAR AST

The leakage at the wheel cover seal and interstage seal belongs to internal leakage. Serious internal leakage will increase the energy loss of the compressor, reduce the stage efficiency and compressor efficiency, and reduce the air displacement. However, the influence mechanism of the two is also different: the leakage of the wheel cover seal is to make the compressed gas return to the impeller, and then conduct the second stage compression, which mainly increases the total energy consumption of the stage; The leakage of interstage seal is interstage gas channeling, which will increase the low pressure stage ratio and decrease the high pressure stage ratio.

Although the serious leakage of the balance plate seal has little impact on the performance of the compressor, it has a great impact on the safe operation of the centrifugal compressor.

The leakage of shaft seal belongs to external leakage. External leakage refers to the leakage of gas from the seal to the outside of the casing. It goes without saying that serious leakage will directly reduce the discharge of the compressor.
