China Model 212 Single End-Face Type Mechanical Seal Special for Glass Lined Reactor

Model 212 mechanical seal is a type of non containerized mechanical seal with simple structure, which is suitable applicated for the working condition with low pressure, corrosive medium but no particles, especially for the sealing of glass lined top-inserted agitating/stirring shaft type reactor.

Agitation/stirring speed: ≤2.0m/s (use for SST reactor≤10.0m/s )
Shaft diameter: 30 to 180mm
Cooling method: Cooling water in normal pressure
Sealing liquid: Clean glycerin, engine oil, pure water, etc.
Material: Sealing ring:Modified graphite/Reinforced PTFE; Mating ring:SiC or Al2O3 ceramics;O-ring:viton &PTFE
Working Medium: Corrosive mesium without any suspending particles excepted hydrofluoric acid

1/ Before each use make sure to turn on the cooling water of mechanical seal
2/ Strictly prohibited to start the stirring during the reactor is empty
3/ Check the sealing liquid level in the oil tray/sealing housing every week, add again if the level lower than the end-face
4/ Change the sealing liquid in the oil tray every month during reactor stops working and without pressure and temperature, use sponge to blot up and fill new clean sealing liquid ( except mechanical seal with auxiliary device)
5/If mechanical seal has not been use for more than a week(reactor stopped work), should re-check the sealing liquid before each start ; After reactor stopped work, it is better to manual rotate the agitator shaft for 30 turns every three days to prevent locking between sealing ring and mating ring.

A chemical reactor is an enclosed volume in which a chemical reaction takes place. In chemical engineering, it is generally understood to be a process vessel used to carry out a chemical reaction which is one of the classic unit operations in chemical process analysis.Chemical reactor is a kind of pressure vessel used to complete the processes of vulcanization, nitration, hydrogenation, hydrocarbonation, polymerization, esterification, condensation, etc. , which has been widely use in petroleum, chemical, rubber, pesticide, dye, medicine, food. Generally, chemical reactor consists of vessel, driving device, agitator/stirring system, heating/cooling system, shaft seal device. The shaft seal device of chemical reactor included Packing seal type, end-face mechanical seal type, magnetic seal type and etc. Main function of shaft seal device is to help agitator/stirring shaft join together with pressure vessel by preventing leakage, keeping vessel pressure, or excluding contamination.
Features of Mechanical Seal For Agitating/Stirring Reactor
The top-inserted agitating/stirring shaft type reactor is widely used. Because the seal is placed in the top of the vessel, it is in the gas phase space (liquid phase when the material is full). To avoid dry friction in the seal, a certain method of lubrication with cooling device is required. The top-inserted vertical-mounted agitating/stirring shaft has a large aspect ratio and may have low processing and installation accuracy, so it will inevitably produce large deflections.
When the shaft rotating, the following factors will increase the vibration of the shaft: Uneven weight distribution of agitator/stirrer blade; Liquid level is too low or have eddy in the vessel; Uneven medium inlet or not control well of the reaction;Pressure and temperature fluctuations; Deformation of agitating/stirring shaft and vessel caused by pressure and temperature changed; Suddenly changed of agitator speed or viscosity increased of mesium by temperature drop, etc. The top-inserted vertical-mounted agitating/stirring shaft has a large aspect ratio,an intermediate bearing is usually installed to provide a relatively vibration-free working environment for the seal to make the seal running smoothly.

Design of Mechanical Seal For Agitating/Stirring Reactor
Generally, the rotating speed of mechanical seal used for the top-inserted agitating/stirring shaft type reactor is lower, so the specific pressure of the spring can be set larger; the vibration of the stirring shaft would be larger, so the sealling element should be designed more strong and friction ring should adopt the overall structure when sealing the gas; considering the large amount of swing when the stirring shaft rotates, the gap between the mating ring and the shaft should take a larger value. When calculating the specific pressure of the end face of the mechanical seal using for the large shaft diameter top plug-in reactor, the weight of the compensation ring cannot be ignored.
Generally, the type selection of mechanical seal should according to the working medium in reactor, working pressure & temperature, agitating/stirring speed, diameter of agitating/stirring shaft & power of driving motor. Material selection of mechanical seal should according to the working medium & temperature in reactor: sleeve material of mating ring seat: glass lined steel, SiC, Al2O3 Ceramics, Reinforced PTFE, and etc; material of end-face(seal ring & mating ring): SiC-SiC, SiC--Reinforced PTFE, Al2O3 Ceramics-Reinforced PTFE, Al2O3 Ceramics-Modified graphite, and etc. When working pressure lower than 0.4Mpa-a, commonly use single end-face mechanical seal; pressure higher than 0.4Mpa-a use double end-face mechanical seal; pressure higher than 0.6Mpa-a should use double end-face type mechanical seal with auxiliary device; when working temperature higher than 150 deg.C, it can not use material of PTFE; use Integrated with bearing structure type during diameter of agitating/stirring shaft & the power of the stirring motor are relatively large.
