Abstract
The invention relates to a method of monitoring a mechanical seal arrangement (1) comprising the steps of: acquiring operational data of an individual mechanical seal arrangement (1) on a test bench (11), the acquired operational data being defined as the nominal data (17), incorporating the individual mechanical seal arrangement (1) into a sealing system (12), acquiring operational data from the individual mechanical seal arrangement (1) in the condition incorporated into the sealing system (12), the acquired operational data being defined as the actual data (18), and comparing the nominal data (17) with the actual data (18).
Claims16
A method of monitoring a mechanical seal arrangement comprising the steps of:
- acquiring operational data of an individual mechanical seal arrangement on a test bench, the acquired operational data being defined as the nominal data, mounting the individual mechanical seal arrangement into a sealing system, acquiring operational data of the individual mechanical seal arrangement in the state installed in the sealing system, the acquired operational data being defined as the actual data, and comparing the nominal data with the actual data.
A mechanical seal arrangement, comprising:
- a mechanical seal having a rotating sliding ring and a stationary sliding ring defining a sealing gap between their sliding surfaces and having a plurality of sensors, the sensors being configured to detect various operational data and/or environmental data of the mechanical seal arrangement in the sealing system as the actual data, and a computer unit including a memory in which individual operational data of the mechanical seal arrangement, which were recorded on a test bench, are stored as the nominal data, wherein the computer unit is configured to perform comparison of the nominal data with the actual data.
