Résumé

Flexible contact gasket is a significant component affecting the sealing performance of the refrigerator. However, few studies were conducted on the permeability characteristics of moist air through refrigerator gaskets. The purpose of this study is to explore the permeability characteristics including permeation paths size, flow type, modeling and temperature-humidity-pressure-structure effect. The characteristic scale of the interface of permeation paths is observed as 10−5 m in the free-state by atomic force microscope. The equation of Knudsen number and contact stress relation is established to judgment the flow types. By comparing the critical and simulated contact stresses, it is inferred that moist air simultaneously occurs slip, transition and free-molecular flows. A multi-scale coupling model of permeation rate is constructed to obtain the apparent permeability coefficient characterizing the permeability intensity. The air pressure difference affects the permeability characteristics in the form of direct driving force and changing the contact stress of the interfaces. Free-molecular flow mainly occurs under the negative pressure condition with inhalation coefficient of 2.26 × 10−5∼2.84 × 10−5 m2, while the slip flow mainly occurs under the positive pressure conditions with exhalation coefficient of 2.87 × 10−5∼4.65 × 10−5 m2. The essence of enhancing the sealing performance of structural improvement is to increase the contact stress and length of permeation path. By increasing the height, increasing the inclination angle, adding the auxiliary edges and adding an auxiliary airbag, the inhalation coefficient of moist air, the exhalation coefficient of moist air and the inhalation coefficient of water vapor are decreased by 54.82 %, 51.46 % and 66.04 %.
