Mechanical seals under vacuum
Mechanical seals under vacuum
(OP)
I am interested in your comments on the topic of;
"Air entering a seal face under full vacuum".
Assume a single seal that is designed to handle full vacuum ie spring loads are designed to overcome full vacuum condition and seal.
Under this mode of operation, will air enter the seal face and flow into the seal chamber?
No silly answers like use a dual pressurized seal!
Look forward to reading your comments!

The only relevant question was whether or not it matters, which you seem to not want to answer. What amount of leakage is tolerable to your application?
