Abstract:Mechanical seals ensure the internal sealing of centrifugal pumps from the surrounding environment. They are one of the most critical components in a centrifugal pump. For this reason, the condition of mechanical seals should be monitored during operation. Mechanical seal friction power is an important component of mechanical losses in centrifugal pumps and is used as an indicator of wear and therefore seal condition. The soft sensor described in this paper is based on temperature measurements at the seal and … Show more
