摘要：An energy diffusion sealing ring [] for use with a hydrocyclone or pump isprovided. The energy diffusion sealing ring [] comprises a sacrificial suspension matrix [A]comprised of a polymer, elastomer, or combination thereof, and a number of packed

inserts [B] suspended in the matrix []. The matrix [] serves as delivery means for theinserts [B] into one or more recessed portions []. The inserts [B] comprise a hard material(e.g., ceramic or carbide) and form wear bodies which slow and dissipate kinetic energy ofescaping slurry by way of creating paths of resistance. As the suspension matrix [A]erodes over time, a plurality of interstices [C] between the inserts [B] are formed.Escaping slurry [] slows as it traverses three-dimensional serpentine paths defined bysaid interstices [C], thereby reducing its potential to wear surrounding components.Methods for manufacturing an energy diffusion sealing ring [] and for dissipating theenergy of slurry [] are also disclosed.
