Popis: This paper gives an overview of numerical and experimental investigations on super-critical CO2 flow through carbon floating ring seals (CRS). The established simulation model considers the real gas effect, temperature deformation and the shaft rotation. For validation extensive measurements of the leakage rates, pressures and temperatures at various positions within the seal were conducted on a compressor prototype. Details of the measurement setup and the test procedure are given. The experimental results are discussed. A comparison of the measured data to the model prediction shows an overall good agreement.Copyright © 2015 by ASME
