The present application provides a device and method for detecting leakage of a mechanical seal
assembly, the device comprising a desalted water tank, a water pump
inlet valve, a water pump, a pressure
relief valve, a water pump outlet valve, a filter, a pressure regulating valve, a first pressure gauge, a second pressure gauge, a
steam trap, a
water supply pipeline, a mechanical seal
assembly test chamber, a chamber support rod, an oil-
water collection measuring cup, a transmission chain, a high- and low-pressure collection
measuring cup, a
reducer, and a motor. The outlet of the leakage pipeline connected to the oil leakage collection port and the oil-
water leakage collection port is located above the oil-
water collection measuring cup, and the outlet of the leakage pipeline connected to the low-pressure leakage collection port and the high-pressure leakage collection port is located above the high- and low-pressure collection measuring cup. Two liquid level probes are respectively placed in the oil-
water collection measuring cup and the high- and low-pressure collection measuring cup to monitor the
leakage rate using the two liquid level probes. The present application solves the current problem of how to measure the leakage of a mechanical seal
assembly by connecting a leakage pipeline and a corresponding measuring cup at the mechanical seal.
