Mechanical Seal

Mechanical Seal


Traditional stuffing boxes are primarily used to seal pump shafts and shafts with axial and rotational motion for various process pump fluids. Stuffing boxes have provided a rather impractical solution in the history of pump technology. Nowadays, stuffing boxes are being replaced by more technical solutions such as  mechanical seals.  Years ago, most pump shafts were sealed with soft packing rings  compressed by stuffing boxes. However, this type of shaft seal required a lot of liquid just to lubricate the packing and keep it cool.  The modern development of  the "mechanical seal" fulfills the role of preventing product leakage  around the pump shaft by two very flat surfaces, one fixed and one rotating. These mechanical seal surfaces also require some (very small) amount of lubricating or cooling fluid  to form  a hydrodynamic film, but this system usually evaporates and goes undetected. Most pump shafts  are now sealed with mechanical seals. Increasingly, several specialized mechanical seal models  are being used in fluid pumps instead of stuffing boxes or lip seals. Pumps with mechanical seals operate more efficiently and undoubtedly perform more reliably over the long term.
 
Mechanical Seal:- 
 
Mechanical Seal is a device which used to prevent leakage between two connected parts or system.Mechanical seal is used to maintain zero leakage in pumps ,reactors and other equipment. Mechanical Seals are used on there types for different types of application.So let's see some types of Mechanical Seal.

-Single Mechanical Seal
-Dry Mechanical Seal
-Double Mechanical Seal
-Cartridge Mechanical Seal
-Bonded seal
-Conventional seal
-Balanced seal
-Unbalanced Seal
-Pusher Seal
-Non-Pusher
-Diaphragm seal
-Heat seal
-Compression seal
-Glass or Metal seal
-Hydrodynamic seal
-Harmatic seal
-Hydrostatic seal
-Dry Gas Seal

How to control Temperature and Humidity in Air Handling Unit

  How to control Temperature and Humidity in Air Handling Unit Overview Air Handling unit is a system used to supply temperature and Humidity controlled filtered air to the cleanroom. For air filtration various types of filters are used in AHU. And for temperature and Humidity controlling cooling and heating coils are provided in AHU. Goals Control the temperature of air used in the cleanroom  Control the humidity of air used in cleanroom  Air filters Specifications    The air Handling unit consists of Air filter  Cooling coil Heating coil Air blower HEPA Filter  Controlling of Temperature and Humidity  By Cooling Method  The cooling coil recirculates the chilled water having temperatures between 4°C to 6°C. This chilled water comes from the Chiller through centrifugal pumps. When we start the Air Handling unit blowers sucks the air through the pre filters of the air Handling unit. When blowers sucks air, it passes through the cooling co...

AIR FLOW, AIR VELOCITY, ACPH, AHU CAPACITY

Air Changes per Hour AIR VELOCITY AND ACPH OF ROOM OR AREA   Procedure to be followed: Air Velocity Measurement and Calculation of Air Changes: Objective : To demonstrate  that the   air system is balanced and capable of delivering air velocities and providing number of air changes per hour in the respective rooms as   per requirement. Equipment to be used: Hotwire Anemometer or capture Hood Pre Requisite: Air Volumes through supply and return grills and filters should be adjusted as per the design requirement of Air Change Rate and Differential Pressure. Test Method : Ensure that the Supply blower of the AHU is "ON" prior to the start of the observations. For compliance of air change rate, velocity to be measured at 5   different locations to below the each terminal or Grill (Four Corners and center) with the help of calibrated Anemometer. Calculate the   average  velocity of the air coming from Plenum HEPA filter / supply air grill. Calculate the air...

Chiller Approach Temperature

 Chiller Approach Chiller Approach is a essential check point for ensuring that the chiller is a running at peak efficiency.When the chiller condenser approach temperature is within operating range,it indicate the condenser tubes are clean and chiller runs efficient.When increased approach temperature reduces the efficiency and it need maintenance. What is Approach Temperature? Chiller Approach temperature is the temperature difference between the liquid refrigerant temperature that leaving the condenser and the leaving cooling water temperature.This temperature difference is called chiller approach temperature. Effects of Approach Temperature:- If the  Condenser approach temperature is within the operating range that indicate the condenser coils are in good condition and cleaned.In this condition chiller runs efficiently. If the condenser approach temperature is out of the operating range that indicate the condenser coil scaled from inner side due to which heat transfer not d...
