Design And Development Of Gas Lubricated Seals For Pumps
Abstract
Gas lubricated double seals are becoming more common in industry for pump applications where product emission, product contamination, and operating costs are a concern. Technology proven on large gas compressors is not being applied to pumps. The design features and implementation of double dry-running, noncontacting gas seals in a liquid application on end suction centrifugal pumps is discussed. The applications are hot (580 degrees F) and cold (190 degrees F) oil circulation and chemical transfer moving through a high purity chemical process. A comparison of energy consumption and reliability is made between a double gas seal and a conventional wet seal installed on a conventional pump and/or magnetic drive pump.
