A rotating seal test rig with a data acquisition system was designed and established to investigate the leakage behavior of a typical labyrinth seal. The leakage and cavity pressure were measured for the labyrinth seal at eight pressure ratios
four rotational speeds
and a sealing gap. The effects of pressure ratio and rotational speed on the leakage behavior and cavity pressure of the labyrinth seal were examined by experiment and simulation. The results show that the maximum relative deviation of the leakage flow rate and cavity pressure predicted is 3.25% and 3.6%
respectively
compared with the experimental data. The flow coefficient increases with pressure ratio and is more sensitive to the smaller pressure ratio at the same rotational speed. The influence of rotational speed on the flow coefficient is very slight which might be neglected at the same pressure ratio. In addition
the cavity pressure coefficient decreases in the direction of flow and is significantly influenced by the cavity structure.
