Definitions

  • This invention relates to high pressure seals, and more particularly, to high pressure fluid seals for pumps having reciprocating plungers.
  • the present invention provides an improved high pressure fluid seal assembly for use in a high pressure pump having a reciprocating plunger.
  • the seal assembly includes a seal carrier having a bore through which the reciprocating plunger passes.
  • the seal carrier has a first annular groove that is concentric with the bore and that carries an annular seal, an end region of the seal being supported by the seal carrier.
  • the seal carrier has an integral annular guidance bearing that is positioned in a second annular groove of the seal carrier, the second annular groove and guidance bearing contained therein being concentric with the bore and being axially spaced from the first annular groove and seal.
  • the bore through the seal carrier is therefore defined by an internal circumference of the guidance bearing, an internal circumference of the seal, and an inner region of the seal carrier positioned between the seal and the guidance bearing.
  • An inner diameter of the guidance bearing is smaller than the inner diameter of the bore of the seal carrier in the region between the seal and the guidance bearing, thereby preventing the plunger from contacting the seal carrier.
  • the seal is supported by the seal carrier, and the seal carrier is separated from the plunger by the guidance bearing, thereby reducing frictional heating and extending the life of the seal.
  • the materials for the guidance bearing and plunger are selected to minimize the friction between the two elements.
  • the guidance bearing is positioned in the seal carrier, and the bore is then machined in the seal carrier and in the guidance bearing in the same setup, thereby improving the concentricity and alignment of the guidance bearing and portion of the seal carrier that supports the annular seal.
  • Figure 1 is a cross-sectional plan view of a pump assembly incorporating a seal assembly provided in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
  • Figure 2 is an enlarged cross-sectional plan view of the seal assembly illustrated in Figure 1.
  • Figure 3 is a cross-sectional plan view of an element of the seal assembly illustrated in Figures 1 and 2.
  • An improved high pressure fluid seal assembly 10 is provided in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, as illustrated in Figure 1.
  • the seal assembly 10 is for use in a high pressure pump assembly 22 having a reciprocating plunger 14 coupled to a drive mechanism 26.
  • the plunger 14 reciprocates in a high pressure cylinder 24, the seal assembly 10 preventing the leakage of high pressure fluid from a high pressure region 23 within the high pressure cylinder 24.
  • the seal assembly 10 includes a seal carrier 12 having a bore 13 through which the reciprocating plunger 14 passes.
  • the seal carrier 12 has a first annular groove 15 in which an annular seal 17 is positioned.
  • annular elastomeric seal 25 is provided around the outer circumference of annular seal 17, to energize the annular seal 17 during the start of a pressure stroke.
  • a bushing 50 positioned within the high pressure region 23 houses a spring 52 which engages the annular seal 17 and urges it toward the first annular groove 15 to substantially prevent the annular seal from moving out of the first annular groove.
  • the annular seal 17 has a flange portion 54 which engages the spring 52 and substantially prevents the spring from moving laterally into contact with the plunger 14.
  • the seal carrier 12 also has an integral, annular guidance bearing 19, which is positioned in a second annular groove 16 within the bore 13.
  • the second annular groove 16 and guidance bearing 19 positioned therein are axially spaced from the first annular groove 15 and annular seal 17 contained therein.
  • the inner diameter 20 of the guidance bearing 19 is smaller than the inner diameter 21 of the seal carrier bore 13 in a region 11 between the seal 17 and guidance bearing 19.
  • the inner diameter 20 is .0005-.0015 inch smaller than the inner diameter 21.
  • a seal assembly provided in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention therefore supports a seal directly by the seal carrier, eliminating the need for a back-up ring.
  • the integral guidance bearing prevents the plunger from contacting the seal carrier, thereby reducing the frictional heating in the vicinity of the seal, which in turn extends the life of the seal.
  • the materials for the components are selected to minimize the friction between the plunger and the guidance bearing and between the plunger and the seal.
  • the plunger 14 is made of partially stabilized zirconia ceramic
  • the guidance bearing 19 is made of a resin impregnated graphite
  • the seal 17 is made of an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene.
  • a variety of materials may be used, and the selection of the materials for the components are interdependent.
  • the seal assembly is preferably manufactured by pressing the guidance bearing 19 into the seal carrier 12, and machining the bore through the guidance bearing and through region 11 of the seal carrier in the same machining setup.
  • the inner diameter of the bore in region 11 is machined slightly larger than the inner diameter 20 of the bore through the guidance bearing.
  • the concentricity of the elements is improved, as compared to prior art systems wherein elements of a seal assembly are machined independently and then assembled.
