Regarding the gas flow rate of dry gas seals
Thread Content
The gas pressure is set according to the design of the sealing system; does the gas flow meter on the sealing system only show readings when the mixing is active and the frictional components are rotating at high speed?
Yes, under normal circumstances, the gas flow meter of a dry gas seal only displays the flow rate when the mixer or frictional components are operating at high speed. This is because dry gas seals are designed to prevent or reduce gas leakage during the operation of rotating equipment. Only when the equipment is in operation, that is, when the stirring or rotating components are working, will the gas pressure difference generated by high-speed rotation cause gas to flow through the sealing gap, and it is at this time that the flow meter can detect the gas flow rate. .
The equipment has stopped operating. The flow meter also has a display indicating that there is a leak in the dry seal; check the requirements set by the manufacturer of the dry seal regarding the amount of leakage allowed
