Mechanical Seal Opening Condition Monitoring Based on Acoustic Emission Technology
نویسندگان
چکیده
Since the measurement of mechanical sealing film thickness and just-lift-off time is very difficult, the sealing film condition monitoring method based on acoustic emission signal is proposed. The mechanical seal acoustic emission signal present obvious characteristics of time-varying nonlinear and pulsating. In this paper, the acoustic emission signal is used to monitor the seal end faces just-lift-off time and friction condition. The acoustic emission signal is decomposed by empirical mode decomposition into a series of intrinsic mode function with independent characteristics of different time scales and different frequency band. The acoustic emission signal only generated by end faces friction is obtained by eliminating the false intrinsic mode function components. The correlation coefficient of acoustic emission signal and Multi-scale Laplace Wavelet is calculated. It is proved that the maximum frequency (8000 Hz) of the correlation coefficient is appeared at the spindle speed of 300 rpm. And at this time (300 rpm) the end faces have just lifted off. By a set of mechanical oil seal running test, it is demonstrated that this method could accurately identify mechanical seal end faces just-lift-off time and friction condition.

This paper presents the use of the MUSIC algorithm improved by higher order statistics (HOS) to extract key features from the noisy acoustic emission (AE) signals. The low signal-to-noise ratio of AE signals has been identified as a main barrier to the successful condition monitoring of pump mechanical seals. Since HOS methods can effectively eliminate Gaussian noise, it is possible in theory t...
