Sumario:To solve the practical problem of Stirling engine piston ring, numerical model on friction and lubrication were established based on average Reynolds equation theory. Numerical calculation results show: piston rings are in the mixed lubrication state which gas lubrication film and micro-convex body contact existing simultaneously; contact pressure is 2 orders of magnitude less than gas film pressure; contact pressure is approximately linearly related to mean gas pressure. Simulated test rig was built and experimental results show: high-pressure working gas leak to intermediate chamber through piston rings, and the pressure of intermediate chamber drops sharply at lowest pressure of circulation; piston ring wear increases when rotational speed or working pressure increase. The accuracy of numerical model was proved by experimental phenomena and test data.
