Mechanical Seal barrier fluid is the media used for the flushing of mechanical seal faces. The heat generated (because of physical contact and friction) between a pair of mechanical seal (Normally one face rotary whereas the the is stationary) faces is being carried away by the barrier fluid which is being recirculated after proper cooling.
The barrier fluid also create a barrier between the process fluid and flushing fluid. It is being kept at a higher pressure than process fluid in order to always ensure that only barrier fluid film remain across the seal faces all the time.
The barrier fluid is being kept in a container with connected piping from mechanical seal inlet and outlet. There is normally a cooling device (Air cooler or conventional water cooler) in between for cooling the seal outlet barrier fluid.
Liquids being used as a barrier fluid in cases of liquid sealing. Where as gases being used a barrier in case of gas sealing.
The barrier fluids are being recommended considering the various check points being given as a guide line in API 682 3rd edition. ( See the details in the subject API plan 53 & 74 barrier fluid selection).
Thanks.

What is a mechanical seal pot?
A mechanical seal pot is a device used to maintain a controlled environment for mechanical seals, typically in pump applications. It provides a reservoir for the sealing fluid, helping to lubricate and cool the seal while preventing leakage of the process fluid. The pot also helps to create a barrier against contaminants and can assist in maintaining the necessary pressure for optimal seal performance. This is particularly important in high-temperature, high-pressure, or hazardous fluid applications.

What is the purpose of seal pots in pumps?
Seal pots in pumps serve to maintain a controlled environment for mechanical seals by providing a reservoir of fluid that helps prevent leakage of process fluids. They are used to ensure that the seal operates under optimal conditions, often by maintaining a specific pressure or temperature. Additionally, seal pots can help protect the mechanical seal from abrasive or corrosive substances in the pumped fluid, extending the life of the pump and reducing maintenance requirements.
How many type mechanical seal?
can you give installation of mechanical seal details
Are seals sexual?
Yes, they are mammals. (Unless you mean a mechanical seal, such as a lip seal, rubber seal or labrynth seals, which are all mechanical.)
What is balance mechanical seal?
Balance mechanical seal is a arrangement in centrifugal pumps that is provided to prevent leakage and corrosion of pump outer shaft. A cooling arrangement is also provided for mechanical seal.
What seal needs replacing if transmission is leaking fluid?
Whatever seal the fluid is coming out.

What is the difference between Oil seal and mechanical Seal?
Oil seals and mechanical seals serve different purposes in sealing applications. An oil seal is designed to prevent the leakage of lubricants and contaminants in rotating machinery, typically using a flexible lip that contacts a shaft. In contrast, a mechanical seal is used to prevent fluid leakage in rotating equipment, such as pumps or mixers, by utilizing a combination of stationary and rotating components that create a tight seal under pressure. While oil seals primarily focus on sealing against oils and greases, mechanical seals are engineered for more demanding applications involving various fluids and pressures.
What is the working principle of mechanical seal?
Mechanical seals feature:*Invisible leakage*Less friction/power loss*No to little wear on the shafts or sleeves*Flexibility - to accommodate shaft deflections and "End Play"*No period maintenance*Long LifeIn practical use, the basic rotating face mechanical seal principle is adaptable to serve a tremendous number of sealing needs: standard mechanical seals can suit most requirements-including temperatures to 500 degrees F and shaft speeds to 3600 RPM through the choice of secondary seal and the combination of seal and seat face materials which are offered. Seals can be ordered in balanced configurations to seal pressures above 200 psi, or used in a multiple for extremely high pressures or especially severe fluid services....Special mechanical seals can be furnished to meet the most demanding of industrial applications considering pressure, temperature, speed or fluid.
What is the purpose of seam tape for vapor barrier and how does it enhance the effectiveness of the barrier?
Seam tape for vapor barrier is used to seal the seams and joints of the barrier, preventing air and moisture from seeping through. This enhances the effectiveness of the barrier by creating a continuous, airtight seal that helps to maintain the integrity of the vapor barrier and prevent any leaks or gaps that could compromise its performance.
In a smoke barrier wall do you have to seal all penetration on both side of the wall?
Yes, in a smoke barrier wall, all penetrations must be sealed on both sides of the wall to maintain the barrier's effectiveness. This includes electrical, plumbing, and mechanical penetrations. Proper sealing prevents the passage of smoke and ensures compliance with building codes and safety standards. It is essential for maintaining the integrity of the smoke barrier during a fire event.
What is seal chamber pressure?
Seal chamber pressure refers to the pressure within the sealing area of a mechanical seal, typically used in pumps and rotating equipment. This pressure is crucial for ensuring that the sealing elements function properly, preventing fluid leakage while maintaining the integrity of the system. Proper management of seal chamber pressure helps to enhance the seal's lifespan and performance by reducing wear and preventing dry running conditions. It is influenced by factors such as the type of fluid, temperature, and operational conditions of the equipment.
