In mechanical engineering, an end-face mechanical seal (often shortened to mechanical seal) is a type of seal used in rotating equipment, such as pumps, mixers, blowers, and compressors. When a pump operates, the liquid could leak out of the pump between the rotating shaft and the stationary pump casing. Since the shaft rotates, preventing this ...
Inflatable seal Seals that inflate and deflate in three basic directions of operation: the axial direction, the radial-in direction, and the radial-out direction. Each of these inflation directions has their own set of performance parameters for measurements such as the height of inflation and the center-line bend radius that the seal can ...
English: Schematic providing overall dimensions of the Titan submersible designed and built by OceanGate. Titan is depicted in a side view, with the forward hatch to the left. The pressure hull consists of three major components: two hemispherical titanium end caps, joined to a cylindrical carbon fiber composite hull via titanium interface ...
A 0.75 HP bore-well submersible pump which had been used to pump groundwater One style of submersible pump for industrial use. Outlet pipe and electrical cable not connected. A submersible pump (or electric submersible pump (ESP) is a device which has a hermetically sealed motor close-coupled to the pump body. The whole assembly is submerged in ...
Ferrofluid-based seals used in industrial and scientific applications are most often packaged in mechanical seal assemblies called rotary feed-throughs, which also contain a central shaft, ball bearings, and outer housing. The ball bearings provide two functions: maintaining the shaft's centering within the seal gap and supporting external loads.
Submersible pumps are mounted on two vertical guide rails and seal onto a permanently fixed "duckfoot", which forms both a mount and also a vertical bend for the discharge pipe. For maintenance or replacement, submersible pumps are raised by a chain off of the duckfoot and up the two guide rails to the maintenance (normally ground) level.
A hydrodynamic seal is a type of mechanical seal. A hydrodynamic seal uses a dynamic rotor with grooves that act as a pump and create an air film that the opposing sealing surface will ride on. A hydrodynamic seal performs better than hydrostatic seals by providing greater film stiffness, lower leakage and lower lift off speeds.
Dry running protection, also known as dry-run protection or dry-running protection, is a type of protection mechanism to prevent a rotor, pump or stirrer shaft from operating without any medium added, as the bearing and shaft seal might be damaged if the motor is run while dry. [1]
