Mechanical sealing for heat transfer fluids. H.F. Greiner and F.P. Bussick. Lubric Engng., April 1996, 52(4), 301--308.
Limitations of steam as a heat transfer fluid are reviewed and the development of five synthetic fluids is described. Typical properties and performance characteristics are reviewed for ethylene glycol, glycol ether, o-dichloro benzene, diphenyl and diphenyl oxide, and petroleum hydrocarbon heat transfer fluids. Pump and mechanical seal applications for cooled mechanical seals and for high temperature metal bellows seal installations are described and illustrated. Typical operating conditions for different heat transfer fluid seal applications are summarized. Seal configuration, construction materials, sealing faces, and sealing systems are discussed.
