Temperature Control. At the seal faces, temperature control is desirable<br />

because wear is a function of temperature. Heat at the seal faces will<br />

cause the liquid film to vaporize, generating still more heat. Thermal distortion<br />

may also result, which will contribute to seal leakage. Therefore,<br />

many applications will require some type of cooling.<br />
