Barrier And Buffer Fluid Selection And Considerations For Mechanical Seals
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
The increased use of pressurized and non-pressurized dual mechanical seals has driven more installations to require the use of barrier and buffer fluids. While some end users have viewed the selection of barrier fluids as ...
Discussion Group P06: Mechanical Seals
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
Mechanical seals are the most common method of sealing industrial centrifugal pumps and other rotary equipment. Although the basic concepts of a seal is simple, successfully using seals requires an understanding of the ...
The Selection and Design of Dual Pressurized Liquid Sealing Systems
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
Dual mechanical seals represent one of the most common approaches to improving seal reliability and reducing process emissions. While the presence of the pressurized barrier fluid provides significant benefits, the challenge ...
Failure Analysis and Troubleshooting Mechanical Seals and Systems
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
Any piece of equipment which has been in operation has a story to tell. The condition of the equipment can uncover a rich set of information which reveals the way the equipment was operated, maintained, and eventually, ...
