Gas booster pump is a device that uses gas pressure to boost liquid or gas, and its sealing performance is crucial for the efficiency and safety of the equipment. The sealing ring function of gas booster pump mainly includes the following aspects:
1. Choose the appropriate sealing material
High pressure resistance performance: Choose materials with high compressive strength, such as fluororubber, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyurethane, etc.
Chemical corrosion resistance: Choose corrosion-resistant materials based on the type of gas processed by the booster pump (such as oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, etc.) to avoid sealing failure caused by chemical reactions.
Wear resistance: If the sealing ring frequently moves or comes into contact with hard surfaces during operation, wear-resistant materials should be selected.
2. Optimize the sealing structure design
Double or multi-layer sealing: Increasing the number of sealing rings can effectively reduce the risk of leakage.
Back pressure support design: Provide appropriate support for the sealing ring to prevent deformation or failure of the sealing ring due to high pressure.
Separation of dynamic and static seals: Design static and dynamic seals according to specific locations to reduce seal wear.
3. Ensure installation accuracy
Clean sealing position: Before installation, clean the sealing groove and sealing ring to prevent foreign objects from causing sealing failure.
Correct installation method: Avoid twisting, stretching, or deforming the sealing ring during installation.
Size matching: Ensure that the size of the sealing ring matches perfectly with the sealing groove of the pump, avoiding being too loose or too tight.
4. Regular maintenance and replacement
Check the wear of the sealing ring: Regularly inspect the sealing ring for wear, aging, or breakage.
Lubrication treatment: Lubricate the sealing ring appropriately to reduce wear and improve sealing performance.
Timely replacement of aging sealing rings: Sealing rings are vulnerable parts, and once aging, cracking, or hardening is found, they should be replaced in a timely manner.
5. Control working conditions
Avoid overpressure operation: Ensure that the operating pressure of the pump is within the design range to prevent damage to the sealing ring caused by high pressure.
Reduce temperature fluctuations: The operating environment temperature of the gas booster pump has a significant impact on the performance of the sealing ring, and maintaining a stable working temperature can help extend the life of the sealing ring.
Reduce vibration and impact: Reducing equipment vibration and impact can reduce mechanical stress on the sealing ring.
6. Use advanced technology
Metal sealing ring: Under extremely high pressure or extreme temperature, metal sealing ring can be used instead of traditional rubber sealing ring.
Composite sealing system: Combining elastic sealing and rigid sealing (such as spring supported sealing) to achieve higher sealing performance.
Surface treatment technology: Coating the surface of the sealing groove or sealing ring (such as chrome plating, ceramic coating) to improve wear resistance and sealing effect.
Through the above measures, the sealing ring of the gas booster pump can be effectively improved to ensure the efficient and safe operation of the equipment.
