Turbine shaft seal
Thread Content
Why does the front axle seal emit a lot of steam when the machine is turned on, and why does that steam almost disappear after some time?
Is it really gone, or is it just out of sight?
There must have been an error in the operation before driving.
One possibility is that there is oil contamination outside the shaft seal, and it evaporates as the temperature rises after the machine is started up.
During installation, the device itself is cool, and the seal is not very tight. After running for a while, the device’s temperature rises, resulting in an improved sealing effect.
The high-pressure section shaft seal is practically invisible to the naked eye
It’s normal to have leaks when warming up the pipes before turning on the device. Just make sure to monitor the steam seal for exhaust to prevent steam from entering the lubricating oil
When the equipment has just started running, its temperature is low, so the leaking vapor tends to condense, which is visible. Back-pressure type? The steam for leak extraction comes from the back pressure; a low back pressure also results in improper extraction of steam.
