EV03 Double Cartridge Seal

The Enviro III primary seals are balanced when pressurized by the product or the barrier fluid allowing the seal to be used as a double or tandem seal. The barrier fluid can be used to control the media between the seal faces or for environmental control reasons.

• STANDBY SEAL: lower barrier fluid pressure idles outboard seal which becomes operational when inboard seal wears out, thus avoiding unscheduled maintenance shutdowns.
• PREVENTS CRYSTALLIZATION: Temperature in seal area can be maintained at a level where the product will not crystallize by introduction of a controlled temperature barrier fluid.
• PREVENTS PRODUCT HARDENING: Introduction of barrier fluid excludes air that can cause congealing or hardening of some products.
• PREVENTS PRODUCT COOLING: Products that become viscous during shutdown can be kept warm by the introduction of a higher temperature barrier fluid.

• BLEMS: A clean, cool, lubricating fluid can be introduced as a barrier fluid to reduce the temperature at the o-rings thus extending seal life.
• POSITIVE PRESSURE BARRIER FLUID: Introduction of the barrier fluid at 15-25 psi above stuffing box pressure allows the primary seal faces to run on selected media where product is non-lubricating or not in contact with seal (top entering agitators, etc.)

TYPICAL USES: starch, sugar, pulp liquors, brine, pulp stock, caustic, sewage, asphalt, tar, heavy oils, industrial waste, toxic/hazardous chemicals, vapours, gases, liquid ammonia, latex, congealing foods, fruit/vegetable juices, glue, paint, molasses, wine, whiskey, liquors, mine slurries.
For special applications or designs, please contact our factory representative.

• Clean stuffing box face, clean and deburr pump shaft or sleeve.
• Lubricate seal sleeve ‘O’ ring with neutral or silicone grease.
• Position seal on the shaft to within 1/4″ of the bearing housing.
• Reassemble remaining pump parts.
• Slide the mechanical seal into position. Tighten all gland bolts, ensuring the gland ‘O’ ring mates with the stuffing box face.
