Heat exchanger design specific features
Seal support system based on the cooling coil heat exchanger СО.6.ХХ outstands with compactibility, simplicity of design and not high cost. The seal support system has necessary fitment for prompt connection to a seal; basic configuration is provided with instrumentation for visual control. Applicable for Plan 52, Plan 53A, Plan 53B and API 682. All parts of the seal support system are manufactured from corrosion resistant steels. The system can be equipped with additional fittings and instruments according to customers requirements
Controls and instrumentation allow for local and remote monitoring of the seal and ensure protection of the whole assembling in case of the seal failure by means of installation of:
-
Liquid level indicato
Temperature gauge
Safety valve
Pressure gauge
What one needs to know when choosing a mechanical seal?
Equipment characteristics
Shaft diameter, temperature, pressure and fluid type are the main parameters when choosing a seal, but there are many other factors
Choice of a manufacturer is important
Lots of products that do not meet the required quality are being produced at the market now.
Service life extension
Operating time of component part is several times longer if the mechanical seal is selected correctly
