Abstract

Disclosed herein are components, systems, and methods for sealing and pressurizing fluids at eccentric temperatures. Embodiments of a high-pressure system include static seals, dynamic seals, or both. A fluid tight seal formed between abutting surfaces of stationary, adjacent components is movable, via rolling contact between the abutting surfaces, as a temperature of the adjacent components enters the eccentric temperature range. The materials of the adjacent components may be selected based on their thermal expansion and contraction characteristics, and respective geometries of components of the high-pressure system may be selected to maintain a minimal gap between moving, adjacent components of the high-pressure system.
