This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will development a smart seal using shape memory alloy technology (SMA) combined with elastic foundation bedding. The use of active control allows corrections to take place during the operation. Active control protects against seal failure and preserves the tribological characteristics. The objective is to develop a class of non-contacting mechanical annular seals (e.g. labyrinth, smooth bushing, and step) where their clearance can be actively controlled.The commercial benefits from this application will be in compressors and steam/gas turbines. This project will have a significant advantage over existing types of labyrinth seals by reducing the leakage rates, extending operational life, decreasing required maintenance, decreasing fuel consumption or electric power of the machinery and will lessen contamination of the environment.

该小型企业创新研究第一阶段项目将使用形状记忆合金技术 (SMA) 与弹性基础垫层相结合来开发智能密封件。使用主动控制可以在操作过程中进行修正。 主动控制可防止密封失效并保持摩擦学特性。目标是开发一类非接触式机械环形密封件（例如迷宫式、光滑衬套和阶梯式），其间隙可以主动控制。该应用的商业利益将在压缩机和蒸汽/燃气轮机中实现。该项目与现有类型的迷宫式密封件相比具有显着优势，可降低泄漏率、延长使用寿命、减少所需维护、降低燃料消耗或机械电力，并减少对环境的污染。
