Question regarding whether the seal fails after cavitation in a centrifugal pump?
Thread Content
Dear experts, the evacuation caused by the centrifugal pump leads to seal failure and leakage. But apart from damaging the impeller casing, does cavitation also cause seal failure? Why?
Excessive vibration in cavitation pumps can affect the seal bearings, putting them at risk of damage
Yes, when cavitation is severe, intense vibrations and the loss of liquid in the sealing chamber can both lead to damage to the seal.
