3.6 Axial seals – cooling system 3 Mechanical function
32
During separation
The cooling water flows in throughout the
separating period. The flushing water should flow
through the indication tube (7). The flushing water
should be clear and not discoloured.
In cases of major leakage, the seals must, of
course, be inspected and possibly replaced. (See
Service & Maintenance Manual
.)
Minor discoloration from possible seal leaks may
occur for a short time, especially when new seals
have been installed. This does not affect the
running of the machine.
During cleaning (CIP)
To clean the space around the seals it is best to
draw off washing liquid from the heavy phase
outlet, by a valve (10). The solenoid valve (9) is
then closed.
NOTE
If the flushing water is discoloured, this may
be due to leaking axial seals.
