We have a small IR pump similar in design to a Goulds 3196. The shaft has a stub sleeve that sits on there that the seal is set screwed to. If we remove the set screws, the seal will not slide off the stub shaft. The shaft sleeve is stuck to the shaft. You cant just use a strongback or a puller...
Have any of you converted your belt/pulley drive fin fans to direct drive with a VFD? What process, vendors, procedures did you go through to accomplish this?
You guys have been great to me lately and for that THANK YOU. I used to work at a refinery back in the day and we had our mechanics fill out repair sheets every time they rebuilt a piece of rotating equipment. When I left that role I didnt keep one because I didnt think I would be in rotating...
How would I find out if Propane is a liquid or gas at 335PSIG and 240F? All the phase charts online dont go up that high. Its been a while since chemistry class in college. THANKS IN ADVANCE
Check out the inlet and outlet temps to the seal on both pots. You see how the higher temps are switched? And before you say its piped backwards, take a look at the glands. Weirdhttp://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=3584f42e-55f3-4d8f-bf25-1f1aa2e2c16b&file=SealPots.jpg
Johnny THANK YOU for your response. You are correct. I didnt realize plan 21 was an 11 with a cooler. I cannot go back an edit my posts to provide more information. Do you know how to do this so that I dont have to keep replying to my own thread? If you had a plan 53 on the secondary seal, how...
So here are some sample photos. The clear sample is Cumene, which is widely used in the plant as a barrier fluid. The dark sample is what the barrier fluid looks like after a couple weeks of operation. Not sure if the product is attacking the seal faces or what. My inclination is to put a 53A in...
Suction pressure is 335PSIG
Disch Pressure is 590PSIG
PT is about 155C
Its got a plan 11 on the inner seals with this little bitty seal cooler on there. Delta T right now is about 5 degrees, basically doing nothing. The outer seal has plan 52 on it. About every 4 months or so the seal fails...
