German HEISS seals HEISS models HEISS prices

HEISS seals are sealing devices installed to prevent leakage between the pump shaft and the casing. Common types of shaft seals include packing seals, mechanical seals, and dynamic seals. The shaft seal of a reciprocating pump is usually a packing seal. When transporting media where leakage is not permitted, a diaphragm reciprocating pump can be used. The shaft seals of rotary pumps (including vane pumps, rotor pumps, etc.) mainly consist of packing seals, mechanical seals, and dynamic seals.

HEISS seal classification

1) Packing seal: The packing seal features a simple structure, low cost, and easy maintenance. However, it has high leakage volume and significant power loss. Therefore, packing seals are used for conveying general media, such as water; they are generally not suitable for petroleum and chemical media, especially for valuable, flammable, explosive, or toxic media. 2) Mechanical seal: Mechanical seals (also known as face seals) provide good sealing performance with minimal leakage and long service life, but they are expensive and have higher requirements for machining, installation, maintenance, and repair compared to general seals. Mechanical seals are suitable for conveying petroleum and chemical media and can be used for media with various viscosities, strong corrosiveness, and solid particles. The American Petroleum Institute standard API610 (8rd edition) stipulates that cartridge mechanical seals shall be installed unless otherwise specified by the user. 3) Dynamic seal: Dynamic seals can be divided into two types: back-vane seals and auxiliary impeller seals. During pump operation, the centrifugal force of the back vanes (or auxiliary impeller) reduces the medium pressure at the shaft seal to atmospheric or negative pressure, preventing leakage during use. When the pump stops, the centrifugal force disappears, and the sealing effect of the back vanes (or auxiliary impeller) fails; at this point, the shutdown sealing device provides the sealing function. Packing seals are commonly used in the shutdown sealing devices associated with back-vane (or auxiliary impeller) seals. There are two types of packing seals: standard type and mechanically adjustable type. Standard packing seals are similar to those in general packing-sealed pumps and require a slight positive pressure at the shaft seal to prevent dry friction of the packing. Mechanically adjustable packing seals use counterweights to loosen the packing during pump operation and tighten it when the pump stops. Dynamic seals offer reliable performance, low cost, and easy maintenance, making them suitable for conveying media with a high content of solid particles, such as slurry pumps and feed slurry pumps in the phosphate industry. The disadvantages are greater power loss compared to mechanical seals and shorter service life of the shutdown sealing device. The seal between the rotating pump shaft and the stationary pump casing is called the shaft seal. Its function is to prevent high-pressure liquid from leaking out of the pump along the shaft or outside air from entering along the shaft. For centrifugal pumps, the shaft seal is a type of dynamic seal. Depending on whether the sealing surfaces are in contact, dynamic seals can be classified as contact dynamic seals and non-contact dynamic seals. In contact dynamic seals, the sealing device contacts the shaft, resulting in relative friction between the two. Contact dynamic seals include packing seals and mechanical seals.

HEISS seal operation

1) If slight leakage occurs after the pump starts, observe it for a period. If the leakage does not decrease after continuous operation for 4 hours, stop the pump for inspection. 2) The operating pressure of the pump should be stable, with pressure fluctuations not exceeding 1 kg/cm². 3) During pump operation, avoid cavitation to prevent dry friction and damage to the sealing surfaces. 3) Regularly inspect the sealing condition. During operation, if leakage exceeds the standard (not more than 5 drops/min for heavy oil, not more than 10 drops/min for light oil), and there is no improvement within 2-3 days, stop the pump to inspect the sealing device.

HEISS seal functions and applications

Engine: Crankshaft - front and rear crankshaft oil seals; Valve - valve oil seals (engine repair kit o O-rings) (distributor oil seal, water pump oil seal, balance shaft oil seal, oil pump oil seal...); Camshaft - camshaft oil seal; Transmission: Transmission - front and rear transmission oil seals; shift lever oil seal (transmission repair kit o O-rings) (transfer case - front and rear transfer case oil seals); Rear axle: Half-shaft - rear half-shaft oil seal; Differential - (front/rear) pinion oil seal; rear wheel oil seal; front wheel oil seal; steering gear oil seal (steering gear repair kit o O-rings); power steering oil seal (front half-shaft oil seal). Oil seals are required wherever there is liquid lubricating oil inside a rotating housing that connects to the exterior. Some are made of rubber, some of metal, but most are steel-cased rubber, such as rear crankshaft oil seals, front and rear transmission oil seals, left and right half-shaft oil seals, front main reducer oil seals, and air compressor crankshaft oil seals.
