Introduction

In various industries such as oil and gas, chemical, food, and pharmaceutical, ensuring equipment tightness and preventing fluid leaks is critical.   An Equipment Seal Support System  (ESS) is a sophisticated system that ensures the efficiency and service life    of mechanical seals. of pumps and compressors    . By controlling the environmental conditions around the plant seal, this system prevents premature failures and improves operational safety. In this article, we’ll    look at the components, benefits, applications, and functionality of an Equipment Seal Support System.

What is sealed packaging?

A seal assembly consists of components to support mechanical seals. This system prevents dryness, overheating and limescale deposits by regulating the pressure, temperature and cooling of the fluid surrounding the seal. Seal assemblies are widely used in centrifugal pumps, industrial mixers, and compressors.

The main components of hermetic packaging

  1. Sealing Tank:     Stores coolant and lubricant.

  2. Heat exchanger:     regulates the temperature of the liquid.

  3. Circulating pump:     ensures fluid circulation in the system.

  4. Filters and separators:     prevent solid particles from entering the overflow.

  5. Pressure and temperature control valves (control valves):     Control operating parameters.

  6. Control devices (pressure gauges and thermometers):     monitor the status of the system.

Types of Sealed Packages

1. Individuelles Dichtungssystem

  • Used in low-pressure systems.

  • It consists of a tank and a simple cooling circuit.

2. Doppeltes Dichtungssystem

  • Used in environments with hazardous liquids or under high pressure.

  • Two mechanical seals are used with a sealing fluid in between.

3. Planning system

  • Is to be flooded according to certain plans (e.g. Plan 23, Plan 52, Plan 53).

  • Each design is optimized  for specific  operating conditions (temperature, pressure, corrosion).

Advantages of using hermetic packaging

  1. Extended mechanical seal life:     Reduced wear by controlling environmental conditions.

  2. Prevent fluid leaks,     especially when working with hazardous chemicals.

  3. Cost savings:     shorter  repair times    and shorter production line downtime

  4. Improve process safety:     Prevent the release of flammable or toxic substances.

  5. Improved performance in harsh environments:     Reliable operation at high temperatures and pressures

  6. Reduced power consumption:  improved  system performance

Installation and maintenance of hermetic packaging

Correct installation steps

  1. Make sure the packaging meets the pump specifications.

  2.  Correct installation of sanitary facilities    and equipment

  3. Fill the system   with the appropriate  liquid.

  4. Complete ventilation system

  5. Pressure testing and leak detection

Preventive Maintenance Program

  • Monthly check of fluid level and fluid quality

  • Regular monitoring of pressure and temperature in the system.

  • Replace the filters according to the plan.

  • Calibrate precision instruments every 6 months.

  • Annual inspection of mechanical seals

Fix common problems

Problem Possible cause Solution
high liquid temperature Heat exchanger failure or lack of fluid Check the converter and the liquid level.
Reduce pressure in the system Leak in the circuit or pump malfunction Check connections and pump.
Liquid contamination Filter failure or contamination Replacement of filters and fluids
abnormal tremors Column or air imbalance in the system Column compensation and air intake

New technologies in closed packaging

  1. Intelligent monitoring systems:     real-time monitoring with IoT sensors

  2. Advanced Materials:     Composite Diaphragms and Silicon Carbide Seals

  3. Compact design:     Full metal housing for aggressive environments

  4. Integrated systems:     Combination with process control systems

Graduation

Gasket kits are an important solution for increasing productivity and extending the life  of mechanical seals   in various industries. Proper selection, installation and regular maintenance of these systems will help avoid unexpected repair costs and significantly increase the reliability of the technological process. Recent advances in the design of these systems also allow them to be used in difficult operating conditions.

In order to select the optimal hermetic packaging for the requirements of your specific industry, it is necessary to consult experienced engineers and pay attention to international standards.
