ThermOmegaTech®’s EcoFlow® valve is specifically used on pumps with mechanical seals to monitor and control the seal flush water. This valve provides an optimum seal environment for mechanical seals, while drastically reducing water consumption and significantly increasing cost savings.

Easily installed on the seal water outlet, the EcoFlow® continuously monitors and controls seal water temperature. It will modulate open if water exceeds the valve’s specified set-point, discharging the hot water and replacing it with cool water. This cooler water will cause the EcoFlow® to modulate closed and repeat the cycle as long as excessive heat is being transferred to the seal water. Compared to traditional, manual control of seal water, EcoFlow® can typically save over 90% of water consumption.

Mechanical Seal Water Support

Mechanical Seal Water Support

N/A Mechanical seal support systems are typically needed for industrial pumps and other equipment with mechanical seals that pump or mix hazardous substances. The seal ensures maximum sealing safety by eliminating fluid or gas leakage handled in pumps. Mechanical seals are typically recommended to prevent pollution, avoid process fluid leakage, control fluid type, provide alternatives for lubrication should fluid failure occur, establish a backup seal in case of seal failure or equipment repair, and to avoid contamination in case of seal failure.

Mechanical seals that use water for cooling, lubrication, and cleaning without regularly monitoring the water, waste hundreds of thousands of gallons of water a year. For this reason, integrating a mechanical seal support system is crucial for plant savings.
