Can labyrinth seals seal liquid media?
Thread Content
It seems to me that the labyrinth seal cannot seal liquid media, but when encountering a situation where a miscible medium has a liquid phase and a gas phase, this machine chose a labyrinth seal. Is it possible? Is there any theoretical support?
Labyrinth seals can also seal liquids
Generally it is ANSI level 4, others will depend on the specific working conditions.
Can be sealed, similar to gas sealing
It can seal liquids. The bearing lubricant seal of one of our equipment is a labyrinth seal! !
Yes, generally compressor oil seals are labyrinth seals
The pressure you mentioned is very low, my working condition is 0.6MPA
I should have made it clear earlier, it can be sealed, but it depends on the size and length of your sealing gap.
It can be sealed, but it also depends on the viscosity and particle size of your medium, as well as the speed of the rotor.
1. It is possible to seal the miscible medium, but there is too much liquid. It is estimated to be difficult without setting up other gas-liquid separations.
