Reliable Dry Running Seal Concept and Its Considerations in Mechanical Seal Selection

A dry running seal is an application-specific design for a mechanical seal that will permit intermittent service without fully lubricating with a liquid. While there are many types of mechanical seals that cannot operate in dry running conditions, some designs and/or materials will provide a lesser risk of damage to the seal. It is important to understand the characteristics of dry running seals in order to understand what the effects are of running a pump without sufficient lubrication and during abnormal or extreme operating conditions.

Application Dry Running Seal

Dry running mechanal seals are used in applications that may be intermittently dry are referred to as dry running mechanical seals. They help reduce the likelihood of mechanical seal failure due to dry running periods of moisture or lubrication being temporarily unavailable.Dry running mechanical seals are also commonly applied in auxiliary pumps or standby systems, which may experience operational interruption or start-up transitions as part of their normal operation.

FAQ

Is the mechanical seal safe to run dry?

Dry running mechanical seals is not recommended with normal configuration construction.

With the dry-run process what will happen to a mechanical seal?

The seal will likely wear out prematurely.

How do you avoid dry running when installing seals?

Establishing a systematic installation process as well as exercising due diligence with operational controls.
