What is a primary best function of water leak through gland packing of centrifugal pump cooling or lubrication?
The primary function would be lubrication since it is used in the dynamic system where it would be difficult to use any other lubricants due to high movement of the parts.
In addition it also somewhat helps in cleaning the gland pack, prevents the wearing.
It should be noted that the gland water should not get anywhere near the bearings.

What are the spare parts of centrifugal pump?
It depends on the specific pump. For most: the impeller, the wear ring & mechanical seal. In a pump with a packed stuffing box, the packing. In some pumps, the shaft coupling.
Why do pumps burn up when it runs dry?
Friction of the mechanical seal faces running together without lubrication or the shaft packing running against the shaft without cooling by water seepage are the result of pumps running dry. Impeller clearances are usually wide enough that the impeller and volute aren't damaged when dry running occurs, but if the pump uses the fluid media to maintain a balance or if tolerances are extremely tight and there is contact with the impeller and volute then galling, damaging, and possibly seizing the impeller could happen.
When is it safe to remove the old packing from a valve under pressure?
If you are referring to the stem packing, you should be able to do it with no problem under pressure. Shut the valve off, take off the handle, then the nut with the packing in it, remove the old packing, replace it and reinstall the nut and handle. Open the faucet completely and that should be it.. Some valves use a rubber formed packing instead of the graphite or Teflon rope packing. Generally you can use either in place of the rubber or use a small amount around the stem with the old rubber.
What is difference between vacuum pump and centrifugal pump?
A compressor is a piece of equipment that compresses gas either to transfer to a specific location or for a certain process requirement. Compressor are manufactured depending on application and can be class into two basic types; positive-displacement and centrifugal. Integrally geared centrifugal compressors can operate at many times higher speeds than reciprocating compressors. The higher speeds ultimately result in smaller package sizes, requiring a smaller footprint as compared to a reciprocating compressor. The operating speed of a reciprocating compressor is very slow due to mechanical and dynamic limitations. Furthermore, the lower speed of reciprocating compressor lends itself to larger compressor size, heavier weight, and larger plot plan size. Whereas the centrifugal compressor with higher operating speeds results in smaller overall compressor package sizes such as smaller gearing, bearings, seals, lubrication system, and foundation. Smaller packages ultimately lend themselves to saving in lower overall installations as well as lower capital and spare parts costs. Higher reliability is fully attainable with centrifugal compressors. The rotating aerodynamic components (impellers) have no physical contact with the stationary parts (inlet shroud). On the contrary, the reciprocating compressor moving components such as the piston and valves are physically in contact with the cylinder and other stationary components during operation. The physical contact causes wear and tear of both moving and stationary components, which requires constant maintenance. However, a centrifugal compressor operates for many years with continuous service without overhaul maintenance, resulting in less power plant down time. This eliminates loss of product, provides more profit, lowers risk, and results in lower maintenance cost. Overhaul periods are more predictable by analyzing characteristic efficiency and vibration trends. A typical centrifugal compressor overhaul inspection period is more than 7 years as compared to less than 2 years for most reciprocating compressors. In addition to the economical advantages of implementing a centrifugal compressor over a reciprocating compressor, many technical advantages are also evident. The centrifugal compressor discharge pressure can be regulated to less than 0.5% per second. The well-regulated compressor discharge pressure provides very steady supply of fuel to the gas turbine. This is an advantage since it does not cause additional burden to the turbine controls. On the other hand, a reciprocating compressor at best can provide 2% or more of pulsating pressure. Unsteady supply of fuel may cause hardship on the turbine control system. A reciprocating compressor would require an impractically over-sized pulsation bottle to minimize supply pressure pulsation to the level as steady as a centrifugal compressor. Considering there is no physical contact between the centrifugal compressor aerodynamic components, the need for lubrication within the compression components is not required; thus it will not add oil or other contaminants to the process gas. However, a reciprocating compressor requires oil lubricant for the piston rings. This oil eventually ends up in the process gas or it has to be separated to protect the gas turbine. Due to physical contact between the piston rings and the cylinder, the wear of the rings and packing causes particle contamination of the fuel gas. Hence, this contamination could cause premature wear on the turbine blades and other turbine fuel gas passages
What is a packing puller?
A packing puller, hook or pick is a device that looks like a corkscrew on the end of a rigid or flexible shaft. They are made of different sizes to fit between the shaft and casing of a stuffing box of various size pumps and valves. The screw is twisted into the soft packing and then it is pulled out of the stuffing box. A packing pick is one of three tools that look like dental picks for removing leftover scraps of packing or for getting into tiny valve stuffing boxes.
What is the effect of the packing Density on the performance of the cooling tower?
Packing density affects performance by lowering the heat transfer capacity.

Why lantern rings in gate valve are used?
Piping hand book decribes that a spacer ring used in the lantern ring type of packing chamer to permit lubrication of the packing, purging of the shaft or stem, or a leak-off system.
What are the spare parts of centrifugal pump?

What is the function of a lantern ring in stuffing box?
- To distribute lubricants or liquid to the packing during operations.
What modern methods were used for food preservation?

What is the seal function of the outer covering?
The seal function of the outer covering is to protect the contents of the item from external elements such as dust, moisture, and contamination. It helps maintain the integrity of the product and ensures that it reaches the end user in good condition.

what is packing?
Packing, usually refers to a material used for mechanical sealing, also known as sealing packing. It is generally made of various fibers (such as asbestos fiber, carbon fiber, aramid fiber, etc.) or rubber and other materials, and is mostly in the shape of a strip or rope. It is mainly used to fill the gaps between mechanical components, playing the roles of sealing, shock absorption and lubrication, and preventing the leakage of fluids (such as liquids and gases). For example, packing is often used at the connections of pumps, valves, pipelines and other equipment.
