Waterjets in marine industry

Custom mechanical seal required due to propulsion vibrations

INDUSTRY
Marine Industry
APPLICATION
Propulsion
EQUIPMENT
Waterjet

NEEDS & WANTS

  • Extreme vibration levels.
  • Extensive wear of seal parts and premature failures.

SOLUTION

  • Analysing the application with regards to vibration levels and frequencies.
  • Vibration levels and frequencies being design criteria for the new design.
  • Performance of the new design verified on a shaking table to ensure the capability of the design in the application having no coinciding of the excited frequencies and the natural frequency of the mechanical seal.

CUSTOMER GAIN
Less downtime and unplanned maintenance.
