Honeycomb and hole pattern annular seals are often employed in compressors for the end balance piston seal or as the central balance piston seal in a back-to-back arrangement. In contrast to labyrinth seals, they show a beneficial damping effect. In order to obtain an effective tool for predicting the leakage and the dynamic response of honeycomb seals, a bulk flow model has been devised in the past and, implemented in numerical codes, it is presently used in the design process. This kind of codes, however, require simplifying assumptions: in particular, one reference code available to the authors adopts the hypothesis of isothermal process. As the required level of confidence in seal design is increasing, an experimental validation and possibly some refinement are needed. In this work, the bulk flow model was reviewed and the sensitivity to different hypotheses was explored. New experimental data from a high pressure test rig were compared with the results of simulationsPri zasnovi plinskih tesnil za centrifugalne kompresorje in aksialne turbine je potrebno upoštevati tako tesnilno sposobnost tesnil kot tudi vpliv tesnil na dinamski odziv stroja. Pri kompresorjih so satna tesnila ter tesnila z luknjastim vzorcem pogosto uporabljana za tesnenje ravnotežnega bobna, ki se nahaja na koncu gredi ali na sredini gredi pri simetrični konfiguraciji kompresorja. V primerjavi z labirintnimi tesnili satna tesnila izkazujejo boljše dušilne lastnostiTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Ljubljani, Fakulteta za strojništvo
