Mechanical Seals for Zero Leakage and Challenging Requirements
Double-acting liquid-lubricated mechanical seals are the most common type for mixing applications. These seals can be used under nearly all operating conditions in a mixing vessel. They can also be designed as a gas-lubricated version in which a continuous supply of gas into the seal chamber maintains a marginal gap, thus preventing wear of the seal rings.
Double-acting mechanical seal liquid lubricated
Function and application
• Two identical pairs of seal rings in a back-to-back arrangement
• Ideal mechanical seal for applications in the medium pressure range up to 40 bar (abs.)
• Use of the modular design opens up many different extension options
• Mechanical seal most commonly used in agitators worldwide
• Deliverable with short heat trap for cooling
• Deliverable with water jacket for cooling
Advantages:
• Life cycle cost savings due to extremely solid construction
• Use of FEA ensures optimized stress distribution in every seal ring
• Special spring designs ensure uniform pre-tensioned conditions even in cases of significant agitator shaft displacements
• Almost zero-leakage under the roughest conditions
Working limits:
• Shaft size: 40...220 mm
• Sliding speed: 0...5 m/s
