Centrifugal Pumps Design and Application 2nd ed - Val S. Lobanoff, Robert R. Ross (Butterworth-Heinemann, 1992)
Mechanical Seals 391 seal to work in an environment where the liquid in the seal chamber is near its vapor pressure. As a rule of thumb, when the stuffing box pressure is less than one-third of the vapor pressure, a seal face design with hydropads should be considered. Hydropads or lubrication recesses are Figure 17-28A. Piping plans for mechanical seals from A.P.l. Standard 610,6th Edition. (Reproduced courtesy American Petroleum Institute.)
392 Centrifugal Pumps: Design and Application an effective way of reducing the power loss of a flat sealing face by as much as 30%. The hydropad design feature is shown in Figure 17-29. In most applications this will permit the seal to operate in a very stable condition with very low leakage to the atmosphere. Leakage rates from these Figure 17-28B.
