• Mechanical seals offer sealing at the point of
  entry or exit of a rotating shaft. Why is it an
  essential element of the shaft? It is because
  seals prevent the leakage of one high pressure
  fluid into a low-pressure fluid in the mechanical
  process.
• The safety and health guidelines in the
  industrial environment become more stringent
  nowadays. There is a great focus on the improved
  efficiency of the process equipment today. No
  wonder the engineers are forced to develop more
  reliable and predictable mechanical seals that
  give high performance.
• Particularly, pressurized rotating equipment are
  required to consider performance more than other
  equipment.
• Also, the design emphasis on rotating equipment
  now focuses on high performance parameters
  because the seals are supposed to run under
  grueling work conditions

EVOLUTION IN THE PAST CENTURY

• There have been significant changes happened in
  the rotating equipment technology in the past 100
  years. Now every part has become larger and
  efficient than ever, whether it is turbine,
  compressor, pump, engine, gearbox, or generator.
• Whether it is single-stage operation or
  multi-stage, split variation or non-split, every
  component has evolved.
• Experts say that the remarkable gain in the
  efficiency, safety and performance of pumps has
  been made possible by evolution from braided
  packing seals to modern mechanical seals. This
  all has been possible only because of technical
  breakthrough.

• In pump and rotary applications, mechanical seals
  are still the most-fitting solution, modern PTFE
  (polytetrafluoroethylene) rotary lip seals also
  play a role in solving the challenging radial
  sealing solutions.
• Radial lip seals exclude unwanted contamination
  for a fraction of the cost and keep the
  lubrication to a mechanical seal. It improves the
  performance of the seal and extends its life
  further.
• It is a fact that the rotating components never
  want attention in the mechanical process of
  operations. Take the example of a compressor. It
  always works relentlessly behind the screen. It
  is taken for granted until there is a change
  necessitated by a regulatory need, maintenance
  need, or competitive pressure.

• There is another important aspect. The rotating
  equipment are supposed to comply with
  environmental regulations as well. The increasing
  demands for higher speed, pressure and
  temperature have to be fulfilled without
  compromising the environmental standard
  compliance.
• Remember, the success of a pump application
  largely depends on the proper configuration of
  the seal. Though the seals have been evolved and
  improved a lot, it is essential to pay attention
  on its health.
