Integral pumping rings for dual mechanical seals: hydraulic performance evaluation using numerical simulations

The flow of barrier fluid through an industrial pressurized dual mechanical seal cartridge is investigated and evaluated experimentally and numerically. The cartridge is of the bi-directional type wherein it is radial-flow designed and fitted with a bi-directional integral pumping ring. The standard...
