TET 20-26 seals German thorsman model TET 20-26 price

TET 20-26 seal is a friction seal or stuffing box used to prevent liquid leakage between the shaft and bearing of compressors or other fluid handling equipment, and is also a sealing device installed to prevent leakage at the pump shaft and housing. 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, diaphragm reciprocating pumps 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.

TET 20-26 seal classification

1) Packing seal: The packing seal has a simple structure, low price, and is easy to maintain. However, it has high leakage and high power loss. Therefore, packing seals are used for transporting general media, such as water; they are generally not suitable for petroleum and chemical media, especially valuable, flammable, explosive, and toxic media. 2) Mechanical seal: Mechanical seals (also known as face seals) provide good sealing performance with very low 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 transporting petroleum and chemical media and can be used for media with various viscosities, strong corrosiveness, and containing particles. The American Petroleum Institute standard API610 (8rd edition) stipulates that cartridge mechanical seals shall be equipped unless otherwise specified by the user. 3) Dynamic seal: Dynamic seals can be divided into back-vane seals and auxiliary impeller seals. During pump operation, the centrifugal force of the back vanes (or auxiliary impeller) reduces the pressure of the medium 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 time, the shutdown sealing device provides the sealing function. Packing seals are commonly used in shutdown sealing devices paired 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 seal pumps, requiring micro-positive pressure at the shaft seal to avoid dry friction of the packing. Mechanically adjustable packing seals use counterweights to loosen the packing during pump operation and tighten it when stopped. Dynamic seals are reliable, inexpensive, and easy to maintain, making them suitable for transporting media with many solid particles, such as slurry pumps and feed slurry pumps in the phosphate industry. The disadvantage is greater power loss compared to mechanical seals, and the service life of the shutdown sealing device is shorter. The seal between the rotating pump shaft and the fixed pump housing is called a shaft seal. Its function is to prevent high-pressure liquid from leaking out along the shaft or outside air from entering along the shaft. For centrifugal pumps, the shaft seal is a dynamic seal. Depending on whether the sealing surfaces are in contact, it can be divided into 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.

TET 20-26 seal operation

1) If slight leakage occurs after the pump starts, observe for a period of time. 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 surface. 3) Regularly check the sealing condition. During operation, if leakage exceeds the standard, heavy oil should not exceed 5 drops/min, and light oil should not exceed 10 drops/min. If there is no improvement within 2-3 days, stop the pump to inspect the sealing device.

TET 20-26 seal failure causes

Mechanical seal failures are generally identified only after abnormal leakage, abnormal wear, or abnormal torque phenomena occur. The causes of failure can be broadly categorized into four aspects: 1) Incorrect design or selection of the mechanical seal; 2) Poor quality of the mechanical seal; 3) The precision of the machine using or installing the mechanical seal does not meet requirements; 4) Incorrect machine operation.
