Flushing is defined as a fluid which is introduced into the seal cavity on the process fluid side, close to the seal face, and is normally used to cool and lubricate the seal face.

Slurry Pump Speed

Is the discharge configuration suitable for abrasive slurries?

target=_blank title=Rubber Liner Pumps>Rubber liner pumps have been used for nearly a century to protect plants and equipment from wear and retain their place as the wear material of choice for pumping and separating fine-grained slurries.

As wear is a function of speed, slurry pumps should be operated at the lowest possible speed; units typically run at 1,200 rpm or less. Often, direct coupling between the pump and a low-speed motor or other drive makes the most sense. On the other hand, many other applications favour gearboxes to meet the required speed and operating point. In services where variable flow rates are required, variable frequency drives are used to provide the necessary continuous speed variation.

From an operational point of view the stuffing box is different as it requires some leakage to ensure lubrication and to prevent heat build up. The mechanical seal box should be leak free.
