Lube oil compressor go to Seal oil
Lube oil compressor go to Seal oil
(OP)
Our Hydrogen Recycle compressor for Platforming (pressure suction : 17kg/cm2g, and discharge :21 kg/cm2g), which is using lube base as seal oil and lube oil as lubricant. we have been problem with system in seal oil and lube oil because seal oil reservoir level has been going up +/-70 litre/hour and equivalent with lube oil reservoir level has been going down. I supoose lube oil go to seal oil, anyone could help me to clarify these problem?
Thank you

I am sure if you did that you will receive more responses.
Other option is to change to a Dry Gas Seal.

Otherwise, a restricted drain line on the lube oil return could cause oil to back-up and cross over through the separation seal into the clean seal-oil return line. A plugged breather vent could cause poor drainage on the lube oil drain. A plugged breather on the seal oil drain cavity could cause this cavity to pull a slight vacuum and draw lube oil across the separation seal.
If work was done recently, I would verify that all lube oil supply orifices were correctly reinstalled. A missing orifice could cause excessive lube oil flow which might overwhelm the drain. I would verify that the lube oil supply pressure is still set correctly. A malfunctioning pressure controller could result in excessive lube oil flow.
As already noted, more information would likely result in more useful responses.
