摘要：An energy diffusion sealing ring for use with a hydrocyclone or pump isprovided. The energy diffusion sealing ring comprises a sacrificial suspension matrixcomprised of a polymer, elastomer, or combination thereof, and a number of packedinserts suspended in the matrix. The matrix serves as delivery means for the inserts intoone or more recessed portions. The inserts comprise a hard material (e.g., ceramic orcarbide) and form wear bodies which slow and dissipate kinetic energy of escaping slurryby way of creating paths of resistance. As the suspension matrix erodes over time, aplurality of interstices between the inserts are formed. Escaping slurry slows as ittraverses three-dimensional serpentine paths defined by said interstices, therebyreducing its potential to wear surrounding components. Methods for manufacturing anenergy diffusion sealing ring and for dissipating the energy of slurry are also disclosed.
