Wear and leakage are common maintenance problems that result in pump discharge pressure dropping below optimum levels and reduced pump efficiency. Converting pumps to mechanical seals eliminates ...

Jay discusses the differences between mechanical seals and pump packing. The mission of Firehouse is to educate and inspire firefighters so that they can protect their communities and keep themselves ...

Mechanical seals have been applied as sealing devices for water pumps of automotive engines. The mechanical seal plays an important state. Therefore, there are many kinds of constructions. This paper ...

Mechanical seals generate frictional heat as the primary ring and mating ring rub together. Speed, pressure, seal face materials, size and fluid properties all influence the level of heat generated in ...

Pumps solutions provider Mechanical Rotating Solutions (MRS) contributed to a Limpopo-based platinum mine’s water-saving initiative towards the end of 2019 by replacing the existing pump gland packing ...

A German power plant experienced premature wear and excessive seal corrosion in its boiler feed circuit and flue gas desulfurization slurry pumps. By upgrading the performance of the pump seals and ...

With the average weight of the HIPPO Submersible Slurry Pump being approximately 1 Ton and mostly used in isolated locations the cost of removal the pump from operation as well as the transportation ...

Slurry services are one of the harshest environments for rotating equipment in mining. Abrasive solids, corrosive process fluids and demanding duty cycles quickly erode seal faces and shorten mean ...
