External causes of industrial pump mechanical seal failure
2010-07-28
1. Shaft axial channeling large
Mechanical seal sealing surface have a certain specific pressure, so as to play a seal, which requires the mechanical seal spring to have a certain amount of compression to the seal faces a thrust, spin up the sealing surface to produce the desired ratio of seal pressure. In order to ensure that a specific pressure, mechanical shaft seal requires channeling can not have too much volume, usually to ensure that less than 0.5 mm. But in the actual designs, due to improper design, often channeling shaft have a huge amount, the use of mechanical seals is very unfavorable. This phenomenon often occurs in a multi-stage centrifugal pumps, especially during startup of the pump, channeling a greater amount.
Automatically changing the axial ring balance disc and balance between work time balance disc space b, thereby changing the pressure on both sides of the front and rear balance disc, resulting in an axial force in the opposite direction of the force to balance the axial force. Due to fluctuations in the rotor inertia of the traverse and transient operating conditions of the pump, the operation of the rotor is not in a static axial equilibrium position. Balance disc always ran around in the state. Balance disc in normal operation of the axial channeling only 0105 ~ 011 mm, to meet the mechanical seal to allow the amount of 015 mm axial channeling requirements, but the balance disc at pump start, stop, axial channeling conditions upheaval when possible greatly exceeds the amount of axial channeling mechanical seal allowed.
After a long-running industrial pumps, balance disc and balance ring friction and wear, the gap b with the increase, the mechanical seal axial channeling increasing. Due to the axial force to the suction side of the pressing force of the sealing surface increases, the sealing surface wear and tear, until the sealing surface is damaged, lost seal. The discharge side of the mechanical seal, with the balance disc wear axial rotor parts is greater than the axial channeling channeling sealing requirements, the pressing force of the sealing surface is reduced, reach sealing requirements, and finally to both sides of the pump Mechanical seal all lost seal.
 
2. Axial force is too large
Mechanical seal during use is not able to withstand the axial force, if there is an axial force, the impact of the mechanical seal is serious. Sometimes due to pump axial force balance mechanism design unreasonable and manufacture, installation, use and other aspects, resulting in an axial force is not balanced out. Mechanical seals to withstand an axial force, when the high temperature operation of the gland, the polypropylene material, which is melted at high temperatures, so the pump starts soon lost the sealing effect, the seal faces the pump still appear intermittent spray drain phenomenon.
 
3. Shaft deflection is too large
 
Mechanical seals, also known seal, is a rotary seal axially movable contact, which is under the action of the elastic element and the fluid medium, the two seal faces perpendicular to the axis line of close contact, relative rotation, so as to achieve sealing effect, thus requiring uniform force to the seal between the two. However, due to the pump design is unreasonable, when the operation shaft deflection at the mechanical seal installation produces large, so that discontinuity between the seal faces, resulting in poor sealing effect.

4. No secondary irrigation system or the auxiliary processing system is unreasonable
Auxiliary mechanical seal flushing system is very important, it can effectively protect the sealing surface, play a cooling, lubrication, wash away debris and so on. Sometimes designers no reasonable allocation assisted flushing system, reach the sealing effect; sometimes though designers to the auxiliary system, but because of the flushing fluid impurities, fluid flow, the pressure is not enough, rinse mouth position design unreasonable reasons likewise reach the sealing effect.

5. Vibration is too large 
Mechanical seal vibration is too large, resulting in the loss of the sealing effect. But the mechanical seal is often not the cause of the vibration is too large mechanical seal reason itself, and the other parts of the pump is the source of vibration, such as the shaft design is unreasonable, processing reasons, lack of precision bearings, parallel coupling poor, radial force and other factors.

6. Cause pump cavitation
Since the device operating system and the pump inlet unreasonable cavitation performance is not good, high pump speed, take place at the entrance of the local pump cavitation, cavitation occurs after the water will bubble one hand, it will impact the mechanical seal faces the outer surface, so that the surface damage; on the other hand would fit surface movement flow membrane ring also contains air bubbles can not form a stable flow membrane, causing the static ring of consistent surface dry friction, mechanical seal damage.

7. Machining precision is not enough
Machining precision is not enough, for many reasons, some precision mechanical seals itself is not enough reason for this is easy to arouse people's attention, but also easy to find. But sometimes other parts of precision pump is not enough, because this area is not easy to attract attention. For example: shaft, bushings, pump, seal the cavity to increase the accuracy is not enough other reasons. The presence of these reasons for mechanical seal sealing effect is very negative.
