2.2.2
MECHANICAL SEAL
The product side of the working chamber (inner chamber with dispersing generator)
has to be separated from the non-product or atmospheric side of the working cham-
ber. For that purpose, a single mechanical seal is installed inside the working cham-
ber.
The type and material combination of the mechanical seal has been chosen for the
application described in the contract and should therefore not be used for other pur-
poses without the permission of the manufacturer.
A mechanical seal is not allowed to run dry. Moreover, it has always to be lubricated,
flushed and cooled by a suitable sealing lubricant. The lubricant must also be com-
patible with the product and the materials of construction. The lubricant tempera-
ture has always to be 40°C below the boiling point to prevent any damages to the
sealing system.
In the case of a single mechanical seal, a pressureless quench liquid system (flow
through or pressureless tank) is used.
The standard working chambers for the MEGATRON
®
MT 3100 S² are equipped with a
KINEMATICA quench system TS1 (also available with vessel made of PTFE)
