For a liquid lubricated end face mechanical seal with diamond macro-pores
the finite difference method was used to solve the two-dimension Reynolds equation for the isothermal
laminar and incompressible lubrication film and film pressure distribution was obtained. Finite element software was used to calculate surface deformation of seal rings. Deformation and seal performance parameters
such as friction torque
liquid film stiffness and leakage rate were investigated under different operating conditions for different sealing rings constructions. The results showed that the end face of mechanical seal deformed with circumferential waviness and radial coning. Convergent and divergent deformations occurred according to different operating conditions
hence seal performance greatly changed. When B was 0.65-0.75
the mechanical seal could achieve better sealing performance. The location of the secondary O ring greatly influenced radial taper deformation
