CA 2674508

In a rotodynamic pump, a seal chamber conditioning valve mechanism is positioned at least partially within the seal chamber of the pump to selectively and intermittently deliver fluid to or discharge contents from the seal chamber to modify the condition or content of the seal chamber and effectively protect the mechanical seal from failure due to, for example, built up solids or the presence of air. The conditioning valve mechanism may be actuated by a control device in communication with monitoring apparatus that determines the condition of the seal chamber, and particularly the mechanical seal face.

Selon l'invention, dans une pompe rotodynamique, un mécanisme de vanne de conditionnement de compartiment d'étanchéité est placé au moins partiellement à l'intérieur du compartiment d'étanchéité de la pompe afin de délivrer un fluide sélectivement et de manière intermittente ou d'éjecter le contenu à partir du compartiment d'étanchéité pour modifier l'état ou le contenu du compartiment d'étanchéité et protéger efficacement le joint mécanique d'une défaillance due, par exemple, à des solides accumulés ou à la présence d'air. Le mécanisme de vanne de conditionnement peut être actionné grâce à un dispositif de commande en communication avec un appareil de surveillance qui détermine l'état du compartiment d'étanchéité et, en particulier, de la face du joint mécanique.
