Introduction to Mechanical Seal Failure of Deep Well Vertical Turbine Pump
In many pump systems, the mechanical seal is often the first component to fail. They are also the most common cause of deep well vertical turbine pump downtime and carry more repair costs than any other part of the pump. Usually, the seal itself is not the only reason, others are as follows:
1. Bearing wear
2.Vibration
3. Misalignment
4. Improper seal installation
5. Incorrect seal selection
6. Lubricant contamination
In most cases, the problem with the seal itself is not the cause of the seal failure, but rather something else causing it:
1. If there is misalignment or other mechanical problems in the pump system
2. Whether the selected seal is suitable for the application
3. Is the seal installed correctly
4. Whether the environmental control settings and operations are correct
Correcting problems identified during seal failure analysis of the deep well vertical turbine pump may have an impact on the system. Some improvements could be made, including:
1. Optimized operating conditions
2. Reduce downtime
3. Optimum service life of equipment
4.Improved performance
5. Reduce maintenance costs
