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...

Why ice forms at cooling coil and Suction line in Refrigeration system

 Why ice forms at cooling coil and Suction line in Refrigeration system       it's all about the relationship between a temperature and pressure and how the pressure affect the boiling point of the refrigerant. As the pressure of refrigerant increases then the temperature and boiling point also increases,  when pressure decreased temperature and boiling point also decreases. Refrigeration and air conditioning systems take use of it to cool the air or liquid.   Normal Refrigeration System      In normal refrigeration system compressor compresses the refrigerant which causes the increase in pressure and temperature of refrigerant. The hot vapour refrigerant pass through the condenser in condenser heat exchange happens and refrigerant condensate into liquid forms.Before entering in the evaporator high pressure liquid refrigerant pass through the expansion of valve. The actual device used depends on the Refrigeration system but capillary t...

HVAC Validation In pharma Industries

HVAC VALIDATION As per ISO guidelines for HVAC validation. In HVAC Validation  below points are determined and validated that they are in within range as per designed which will pass the respective ISO standard class acceptance criteria. 1)Air velocity and CFM calculation 2)Air changes per hour 3) Installed filter leakage test 4) HEPA filter integrity test 5)Air flow pattern test or smoke test 6)Partical count test 7)Total variable count 8) Temperatur and pressure monitoring 9) Temperature and Humidity recovery test 10) Fresh air calculation All this points are determined recorded in documents.All this validation process done by validation contractors under observation of respective company Engineer. 1) Air velocity and CFM calculation :-   - Scan the area of the HEPA filter with probe of anemometer 6 inches from the filter face. - For accurate velocity take the velocity of air at five place of filters ( Four corners and centre of filter) - Record the air velocity i...
