Mechanical Seal The mechanical seal with two seal faces containing silicon carbide (SiC) prevents loss of cooling to the lower seal faces during run-dry conditions.
The mechanical seal with two seal faces containing silicon carbide (SiC) is equipped with the oil chamber. The advantages of the seal are two-fold. It eliminates spring failure caused by corrosion, abrasion or fouling which prevents the seal faces from closing properly and prevents loss of cooling to the lower seal faces during run-dry conditions which causes the lower seal faces to fail.
