This is a unique seal developed to meet stringent technical requirements of Boiler feed water pumps.
Rotating mating ring design makes it suitable for high speed application and avoids critical requirments of stuffing box face squareness.
Both the faces are having strong positive drive and locking arrangment which make seal very strong and sturdy.
Thermodynamic circulation grooves inscribed on the rotating faces boost the cooling of the sliding faces by reducing the coefficient of friction and protecting the seal against thermal over loading.
Increased collent flow effected by the pumping screws and the fluid guiding channel combine to force the cold water into the gap between seal ring and mating ring, blowing out gas bubbles and dirt praticles and picking up frictional heat.
In view of risk of dynamic distortion because of high sliding velocity of over 25 m/sec the springs are located in the stationary part.
