Hi All,
We replaced the rod packing seal of our Methane compressor less than a year ago. When we inspected last week, we found sign of wear on the back of the cups, apparently due to spinning of the adjacent radial ring in its position. I cannot figure out how the ring can rotate in the cup as there is no force to push it that way. Has anybody experienced a similar case? What could be the cause of it?
Thanks.
