3. Product description
5
This type of double seal consists of two shaft seals mounted in a
5
"back-to-back" arrangement in a separate seal chamber.
5
The pressure in the seal chamber is higher than the pump
6
pressure.
7
The double seal arrangement with pressurised seal chamber
7
prevents the pumped liquid from leaking to the environment via
7
the shaft seal.
7
The pressure in the seal chamber can be generated in three
ways:
7
8
•
by means of a pressure intensifier (section 9.1)
8
•
by means of a dosing pump (section 9.2)
9
•
by means of an already existing system.

This type of shaft seal is the optimum solution when handling
abrasive or sticky liquids which would either wear out, damage or
block a mechanical shaft seal.
Recommended for applications involving toxic, aggressive or
flammable liquids, the seal shaft protects the surrounding
environment and the people working in the vicinity of the pump.
If the shaft seal is used in applications where
special safety precautions must be observed due
Caution
to hazardous liquids, the customer bears full
responsibility!
5. Maximum liquid pressure and temperature
Due to the shaft seal design, the pressure in the seal chamber
must not exceed 25 bar. The pressure of the barrier fluid must
always be higher than the pressure of the pumped liquid.
The maximum temperature of the barrier fluid depends on the
rubber material of the shaft seal.
