It is a pure oxygen reaction inside the reactor; can lubricating oil be added to the mechanical seal?

2017-03-04View Original

Thread Content

The company needs a reactor for reactions that take place in pure oxygen. The manufacturer supplied a double-end face seal, which causes the lubricant used to lubricate the seal surfaces to enter the reactor. According to information found online, contact between pure oxygen and lubricating oil can result in a violent reaction. Are there any experts in this field? Will there really be severe reactions, and if so, how can it be improved? . . . . . .

Does dry friction sealing refer to a dry gas seal?

It’s considered a dry gas seal, but it’s not the type with grooves on the sealing surface; it’s a cheaper type of mechanical seal, one in which the sealing fluid is replaced by nitrogen

Oh........ I was wondering, which domestic manufacturers can produce products of good quality?:handshake

I know that the John Klan 7700 and also the model 32 will work. Japanese aircraft, as well as those from Lantian, should both be able to do it

Moreover, nitrogen is often used for sealing in kettles, which is quite common

Just use water for lubricating the mechanical seal, right? The circulating water system is equipped with a pressure gauge; in the event of a leak, the pressure will drop and an alarm device will be triggered, allowing immediate detection of the leak in the mechanical seal so that repairs can be carried out promptly. It’s fine even if water gets into pure oxygen, right? Alternatively, a balanced structure can be designed on the medium side, such that the water pressure inside the mechanical seal chamber is lower than the pressure inside the tank; in the event of a leak, it is the medium gas that enters the sealing chamber, causing the pressure gauge for the mechanical seal water to rise and triggering an alarm, which indicates that there is a leak in the mechanical seal. It’s just a rough idea; I hope experts can offer their criticism. ;P

From a technical standpoint, water won’t work; we plan to try using a reaction solvent instead; With a pressure of over 20 kilograms in the tank, a balance tank is prepared to be filled with nitrogen, at a pressure slightly higher than that in the tank. . . . It works on the same principle as water, as I told you: victory:
