Achieving a Clean Seal with CFD
Courtesy of A.W. Chesterton Mechanical seals are commonly used in a wide variety of industrial applications for sealing process fluids in rotating equipment. Often, the presence of suspended solids or gas bubbles in fluid sealing environments can be detrimental to seal life and operating efficiency. Conventional ways to manage or limit the adverse effects of [...]
Mechanical Seal Introduction
Mechanical seal is being used increasingly on fluid pump to replace packed gland and lip seal. Pump with mechanical seal perform more efficiently and generally perform more reliably for extended periods of time. Mechanical seal is provided to prevent pumped fluid from leaking out along the drive shaft. The controlled leakage path is between two flat surfaces associated [...]
