Manufacturer & Exporter Mechanical Seals and other Engineering Products Expert Engineering Enhanced Air Finned Cooler for Mechanical Seals. Introduction: Mechanical Seals generate heat and require lubrication while face sealing. Different API Plans are used to dissipate this generated heat and cool the seal faces thus extending the seal life. Flushing is required to cool and lubricate the seal. Controlling Flush Fluid Temperature is critical to the life of a mechanical seal. Cooling of the product also may be needed to improve the margin to vapour formation, to meet secondary sealing element temperature limits, to reduce coking or polymerizing, or to improve lubricity (as in hot water). Present System of Cooling: For the flushing of Mechanical seals, use of water-cooled heat exchangers is a common phenomenon, a shell and tube type of heat exchangers are used in which process liquid flows through the tube while the cooling water flows from the shell and the cooling of process liquid is being achieved. Disadvantage: The basic disadvantages with water-based heat exchangers are the formation of scale around the tube due to fouling. Fouling can be very costly in refinery and petrochemical plants since it increases fuel usage, results in interrupted operation and production losses, and increases maintenance costs. Solution: It has been often recommended to use the Air Cooler to get rid of the above problem but the size and the cooling efficiency of the so far developed air cooler had put them on the back foot and are rarely used for the cooling of the mechanical seals. Expert Engineering has developed a new Enhanced Air Finned Cooler for such difficult applications, where no water is used. The compact size with natural draft cooling maintains the requirement of the . cooling.

What is Enhanced Air Finned Cooler? Working Principle of Finned Tubes It is filled with a liquid (the thermal transfer medium) appropriate to temperature of application. The working fluid evaporates extracting heat from the process liquid Vapor moves towards fin side of the tube wherein it dissipates heat to the ambient and condenses. The condensed liquid comes back to the bottom portion. The cycle repeats, Expert Engineering Enhanced Air Finned Cooler is unique in design. In which the Process Liquid flows from the pot (as the direction shown in the fig. Expert Engineering Air Cooler) and...

Manufacturer & Exporter Mechanical Seals and other Engineering Products BENEFITS OF AIR COOLER Reliability: Any equipment which depends on the reliability of other equipment is not reliable or less reliable. Expert Engineering’s Air Finned Cooler cools the product with natural draft. It does not have any moving parts, needs no external power source. Expert Engineering’s Air Finned Cooler does not depend on the cooling water, therefore Risk of shut down due to poor quality / quantity of water is eliminated. Direct saving Cost of Water: With Air Fin Coolers no water is required hence cost of...

Manufacturer & Exporter Mechanical Seals and other Engineering Products Cooling Tower Water Contamination: in the process of scale removal the water cooled heat exchanger tube gets eroded / corroded and becomes week and some time may get punctured. Identification of leaking cooler takes enormous time. Also entire cooling tower water needs to be drained. In Expert Engineering’s Air Cooler such possibility does not arise because of absence of water. Fire Hazard: In the event of seal failure in case of API Plan 02, the hot liquid leak to the atmosphere. If it is at the self ignition...
