The product vaporized across the lapped faces blowing them open.
If the product tends to stick the faces together.
If you are sealing hot oil and you have to pass a fugitive emission test.
Running dry means higher heat at the faces. If you are using a good unfilled carbon/graphite (and you should be) the faces are not going to be your problem. The elastomer and the product you are sealing can be very sensitive to a temperature change in the stuffing box, or an increase of temperature at the seal faces.
Single, stationary, (the springs do not rotate) hydraulically balanced mechanical seals can pass a fugitive emission test as long as the rotating portion of the seal is designed to be located square to the shaft.
Rotating seals (the springs rotate with the shaft) seldom can pass a fugitive emission test. They are too sensitive to various forms of misalignment.
Cartridge mounted stationary seals usually fail fugitive emission testing because the set screwing of the cartridge to the shaft prevents the rotating face from positioning its self square to the shaft. Some seal companies offer some type of a self aligning design to solve this problem.
The failure of a seemingly simple seal can have expensive, hazardous or even fatal consequences. Plant or equipment downtime, environmental damage, lost or spoiled production and expensive maintenance can often be avoided by proper application of appropriate technology.
The demands on seals are increasingly stringent and much of the emphasis is on controlling environmental contamination. Our improvements are driven by new standards, legislation and economic considerations. Acumen Seals fully understand the challenge facing engineers today, and hence deploys the best possible solutions for their complex fluid sealing requirements.
Acumen Seals have an ongoing commitment to research and development. This has resulted in the continually increasing performance of mechanical seals, reflecting state-of-the-art technology which has been used in the design of seals available in the marketplace today. In anticipation of increasing environmental regulations, new generations of mechanical seal products have been developed to provide cost-effective solutions for the control of emissions. Increased life has been attained reliably with low emission single seals and double seals.
These results have been obtained through the use of improved designs, high quality face materials, attention to manufacturing and assembly details, and enhanced seal chamber environment. These advances in seal technology go hand in hand with improved installation, maintenance and operating procedures, to enable considerable reductions in fugitive emissions and hence substantial savings for the operator.
The investment policy we pursue is our commitment to continually improve the technological ability and awareness of our Company. This allows us provide a service standard, which can satisfy and surpass any, and to compete at the highest possible level.
