Experimental and computational analysis of a gas compressor windback seal
A gas windback seals is similar to a labyrinth seal except the cavity is one continuous
channel which winds around the shaft like a screw thread. One application is in gas …

Leakage and rotordynamics numerical study of circular grooved and rectangular grooved labyrinth seals
Labyrinth seals are used in many turbomachines to reduce the leakage from high to low
pressure zones. In this paper, a new labyrinth seal design with a circular groove is …

Effects of Tooth Width on Gas Labyrinth and Windback Seals Operating at Low Pressure Ratios
GL Morrison, CH Lim - International Joint Tribology …, 2007 - asmedigitalcollection.asme.org
The difference in leakage rates for labyrinth and windback seals is studied. It is determined
that the leakage under the teeth of a windback seal is within±3% of a labyrinth seal with the …
