WHAT'S THE FUNTION OF MECHANICAL SEAL

What's a mechanical seal?

mechanical seal is a kind of precise mechanical basic component, ‌ is widely used in all kinds of pumps, ‌ reactor, ‌ turbine compressor, ‌ submersible motor and other equipment, ‌ is the key component of these equipment.It is mainly used to solve the sealing problem between the rotating shaft and the body, ‌ to prevent fluid leakage.mechanical seals consist of at least one pair of end faces perpendicular to the axis of rotation ‌ which are kept relative sliding by fluid pressure and the elastic force of the compensating mechanism (‌ or magnetic force) ‌ and ‌ with the assistance of an auxiliary seal ‌ thus constituting a device for preventing fluid leakage.This sealing method is the main shaft sealing method in rotating fluid machinery because of its advantages of less leakage and long service life ‌.

What's the function of the menhanical seal?

1. The role of mechanical seals is mainly reflected in improving machine efficiency, reducing energy consumption, reducing leakage, improving machine reliability, saving raw materials, and safety and environmental protection.

   
   

2. Improve machine efficiency and reduce energy consumption: By reducing friction losses and improving volumetric efficiency, mechanical seals can significantly improve the overall performance of machines.

   
   

3. Change the sealing method to improve the efficiency of the machine or unit.

   
   

4. Reduce leakage: Mechanical seals can effectively prevent internal leakage, external leakage and leakage, thereby improving the volume efficiency of the machine and reducing energy waste and material loss caused by leakage.

   
   

5. Change the auxiliary system to reduce energy consumption and improve unit efficiency.

   
   

6. Improve machine reliability: The mechanical seal can reduce the leakage of the shaft seal, thereby extending the service life of the shaft seal and the machine, and improving the reliability of the machine.

   
   

7. Save raw materials: Mechanical seals help save raw materials by recovering process fluids and reducing or eliminating the loss of power steam and process fluids.

   
   

8. Safety and environmental protection: Mechanical seals can effectively prevent leaks, thus ensuring the safety of operators, while reducing pollution to the environment.
