CSP10 - Extending MTBF of Seals in Boiler Feed Water Service
Abstract
The customer experienced short seal life on a set of multi-stage, double ended pumps that were commissioned in 2009. A single seal design with piping plan 23 system was used with pump cooling jackets. The average seal life was less than 12 months (1 year) MTBF. There were 10 Seal Failure Analysis performed before a team was pulled together to analyze the system.
