Mechanical seal for pump machinery
Thread Content
May I ask, what type of mechanical seal is used in horizontal centrifugal pumps for transporting gasoline and diesel at room temperature? Can a single-end balanced type be used?
The specific operating conditions need to be detailed: inlet and outlet pressures, whether the medium contains impurities, and whether it is finished gasoline or diesel
Sure. Aren’t the advantages of centrifugal pumps their good sealing performance?
To better detect leaks, the PLAN54 flushing scheme can be used; a white oil buffer tank is employed for the external seal, along with temperature and pressure sensors
