【Daily Question No. 312】November 14, 2018: Briefly describe the advantages and disadvantages of contact seals. Contact seals offer excellent sealing performance; even at low speeds, their sealing ability remains unaffected, allowing them to be used under high pressures. However, contact sealing surfaces experience friction, which generates heat and consumes power. Poor sealing reliability at high temperatures, poor sealing reliability at high speeds, and high power consumption. (Unless otherwise specified, all questions and answers are based on hydrogenation units.) ) Correct: 3 wealth, Incorrect: 1 wealth ； Mass posting of posts – rated based on the lowest score ； Replies that are unrelated to the answer are considered spam and will be deleted immediately.

No matter what the sealing conditions are, it’s impossible to claim that they are perfect; we need to make a preliminary assessment based on their specific characteristics to determine whether our production process is better suited for that particular sealing method. Axial contact seals are also known as face seals. This type of seal has a relatively simple structure, with the simplest version consisting of a compression ring and a support element. We generally refer to the compression ring as the moving ring, and the support as the stationary ring. There is a close connection between the rings; the compression ring rotates along with the drum of the dryer, and it is pressed tightly against the support ring by a spring. The support rings are fixed to the feed and discharge boxes; by fitting these rings together, a tight seal is achieved in the dryer. This seal is obtained through the close grinding and engagement of the end surfaces as they move relative to each other. Furthermore, to prevent the compression ring from shifting during the operation of the cylinder, it must be in close contact with the support ring; as a result, the compression ring and the cylinder are mounted in a floating manner, which creates gaps between them. The existence of such gaps is a major drawback of axial contact seals, and it is also the only source of air leakage in face seals. We need to make improvements in this regard by reducing the gap between the compression ring and the cylinder, thereby minimizing these gaps and enhancing the sealing performance of the dryer.
Advantages: Simple structure, good sealing performance
Disadvantages: Friction is present, leading to easy wear, especially at higher speeds
Contact seals offer excellent sealing performance; even at low speeds, their sealing ability remains unaffected, allowing them to be used under high pressures. However, contact sealing surfaces experience friction, which generates heat and consumes power. Poor sealing reliability at high temperatures, poor sealing reliability at high speeds, and high power consumption.
Contact seals offer good sealing performance; even at low speeds, their sealing ability is not affected, and they can operate under high pressures. However, there is friction at the contact surfaces of these seals, which generates heat and leads to increased power consumption. Their reliability decreases at high temperatures, as well as at high speeds, and they require significant power to function.
