摘要:
The invention is a film-riding seal for a pump shaft that is resistant to the deposition of iron oxides such as hematite and goethite on the confronting, spaced apart, seal surfaces. The seal generally comprises a ceramic runner mounted on the pump shaft and an adjacent ceramic stationary sealing ring. The runner has a sealing surface and the stationary sealing ring has sealing surface confronting the runner sealing surface. The ceramic sealing surfaces include a catalyst selected from the group consisting of rhenium, ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, silver, osmium, iridium, platinum, gold and mixtures thereof.

A mica based compressive seal has been developed exhibiting superior thermal cycle stability when compared to other compressive seals known in the art. The seal is composed of compliant glass or metal interlayers and a sealing (gasket) member layer composed of mica that is infiltrated with a glass forming material, which effectively reduces leaks within the seal. The compressive seal shows approximately a 100-fold reduction in leak rates compared with previously developed hybrid seals after from 10 to about 40 thermal cycles under a compressive stress of from 50 psi to 100 psi at temperatures in the range from 600° C. to about 850° C.

A piston ring has a diamond-like carbon film formed in a thickness of 0.5 to 30 micrometers over an under film on the upper and lower surfaces. The under film is directly formed on the surfaces, or formed on a hard surface treatment layer consisting of a gas nitrided layer or a chromium plating film. The diamond-like carbon is configured with any one of an amorphous carbon structure, an amorphous carbon structure having partly a diamond structure, or an amorphous carbon structure having partly a graphite structure. The under film is comprised of one or more elements selected from the group consisting of silicon, titanium, tungsten, chromium, molybdenum, niobium and vanadium in an atomic content of 70 percent or more and below 100 percent, and the remaining content consisting of carbon, or one or more of said elements in an atomic content of 100 percent. The films may also be formed in the same way on the outer circumferential surface of the piston ring.

There are disclosed a damper plate for a rotary machine and a method for producing thereof which makes it possible to produce a honeycomb-type damper plate with accurate dimensions and reasonable cost. In the method for producing a damper plate for sealing between a rotating portion and a stationary portion of a rotary machine and cushioning said rotating portion, the damper plate has a plurality of convex portions and concave portions, and a plurality of the convex portions and the concave portions are processed by a superplastic processing method.

A seal arrangement for a sensing element of a gas sensor, in particular for determining the oxygen content in exhaust gases of internal combustion engines, includes a packet made up of several seal elements, packed one on top of another, which immobilize the sensing element in a longitudinal bore of a metallic probe housing. A funnel-shaped diversion element lying in the axial direction of the sensor is integrated into the seal elements packed one above another in such a way that gas permeability between the diversion element and the inner wall of the probe housing is ensured. Toward the measured-gas end of the sensor, a small gap remains open between the sensing element and the diversion element.

A gasket for high pressure, high temperature apparatus is disclosed which is of a generally frusto-conical shape. The smaller diameter portion of the gasket is made primarily from low friction material and the larger diameter portion of the gasket is made from a mixture of high friction material and low friction material, the low friction material being the major portion. The gasket may be made as two parts and joined or not joined together or by double filling a mold and pressing as a single unit.

A track seal assembly adapted to seal a track joint includes a track link and a first ceramic seal member. The track seal further includes a first elastomeric member positioned between the track link and the first ceramic seal member. The track seal further includes a bushing having an end face. The track seal also includes a second ceramic seal member secured to the end face of the bushing, wherein (1) the first ceramic seal member contacts the second ceramic seal member so as to form a seal interface, (2) the end face of the bushing has a counter bore defined therein, and (3) the second ceramic seal member is positioned within the counter bore of the bushing.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for reducing oil consumption and oil deterioration in a reciprocating engine. The engine is provided with ceramic rings and ceramic cylinder linings. Minimal oil lubricant is adsorbed on the surface layer of the rings and liners to form a lubricating boundary-film on the rings and linings. Excess oil lubricant is restricted from entering the piston ring/cylinder lining region to preclude the formation of a hydrodynamic, full film lubricant layer between the rings and linings. Several engine designs are disclosed.
