Fluid seals development for coal liquefaction slurry pumps. Quarterly technical progress report No. 3, 1 April 1983-30 June 1983. [Centrifugal and reciprocating pumps]
A survey of current practices for centrifugal and reciprocating coal slurry pump seals and a preliminary evaluation of three alternative centrifugal and reciprocating fluid seal concepts was performed in Task 1. The detail technical results were reported in the interim technical report for Task 1 (TPME 3172-6729). The Task 2 detail evaluation was completed and the detail technical results were reported in the interim technical report for Task 2 (TPME 3172-6835). The results indicate that the tapered bore floating ring seal is the best concept. The Task 3 design and fabrication was initiated. The seal detail drawings were released and procurement was initiated. The tester design requirements were established, and it was determined that standard pumps can be utilized for both the centrifugal and reciprocating seal testers. 8 figs., 1 tab.
