WORKSHOP OVERVIEW

Optimizing pump and seal life /considerations for maintenance and engineering

The Pump & Mechanical Seal Workshop will explore mechanical principles and fluid dynamics associated with following, but is not limited to as time permits:

Mechanical Seal & Environmental Control School (One Day)

• Mechanical seal material, designs andwhere to use

• Environmental controls and piping plans foroptimal performance

• Basic trouble shooting of seal failure

• Installation/operation instructions, training

Pump School (Two Days)

• Improper operation - dry running, cavitation,air entrainment, closed discharge, etc.

• Incorrect pump size - often oversizedand throttled

• Bearing failure - contamination, over/underlubricated, defective, mis-installed, outof tolerance fits (housing bore, snap ringgrooves, shaft diameter)

• Coupling mis-alignment - pump bearingfailure (usually thrust bearing), motorbearings, coupling failure

• Wet end (volute, impeller, back cover, wearrings) - corrosion/erosion reduces efficiency,reliability, flow rate, etc.

• Inadequate (under designed) pumpfor application
