Difference between centrifugal pump seal water and cooling water
Thread Content
Which sea friend can help explain the difference between the seal water and cooling water of a pump? In my previous understanding, do pump systems only require cooling water?
Sealing water is used to cool the mechanical seal, preventing leakage of the medium due to deformation of the seal caused by excessive temperature； Cooling water is used to cool the pump body, bearing housings, etc. Generally, seal water and cooling water are shared. Whether cooling water is needed depends on the temperature of the medium
It is recommended to look at API610; once you’ve studied it, there will be no problems.
