[0028] Please see Figure 1-3This utility model provides a technical solution: a flushing device for the mechanical seal of a chemical centrifugal pump, including a sealing liquid tank 1, which is provided with a buffer inlet 2 and a buffer outlet 3. A mechanical seal 5 is installed on the centrifugal pump 4. The mechanical seal 5 has flushing inlets 6 and flushing outlets 7 on its upper and lower sides. The flushing inlet 6 is connected to the buffer inlet 2, and the flushing outlet 7 is connected to the buffer outlet 3. A pressure gauge 8 is installed on the sealing liquid tank 1 to detect leakage of the mechanical seal 5. A pressure source 9 and an exhaust port 10 are installed at the top of the sealing liquid tank 1, and a drain outlet 11 is installed at the bottom of the sealing liquid tank 1. The pressure source inlet also serves as an exhaust port; on the one hand, it provides a pressure source to fill the sealing liquid tank with pressurized gas, providing pressure for the mechanical seal; on the other hand, it can discharge gas from the tank to balance the pressure inside the tank.

[0029] The sealing tank 1 has cooling water inlets 12 and cooling water outlets 13 on both sides of its bottom. A process medium coolant is introduced to cool the liquid inside the sealing tank. The coolant exchanges heat with the liquid inside the tank through coils, carrying away heat.

[0030] The sealing tank 1 has a liquid replenishment port 14 on its side, and a valve 15 is installed on the liquid replenishment port 14. This is used to replenish liquid into the sealing tank. The liquid replenishment port is located at a high position in the sealing tank to facilitate the addition of replenishing liquid and ensure an adequate supply of liquid within the tank.

[0031] A pressure transmitter 16 is installed on the corresponding side of the exhaust port 10. This transmitter converts the pressure signal inside the sealing tank into an electrical signal and transmits it to the control system. This helps to accurately control and monitor the pressure inside the sealing tank, ensuring the normal operation of the mechanical seal.

[0032] The sealing liquid tank 1 is provided with a fixed base 17.

[0033] Working Principle: The flushing device includes a 12L sealing liquid tank system. The sealing liquid tank is equipped with a buffer solution inlet / outlet piping system for flushing, lubricating, and cooling the mechanical seal. A replenishment port is located at a high position within the sealing liquid tank, along with level transmitters, pressure gauges, pressure transmitters, a manual replenishment pump, and other instruments and valves for detecting mechanical seal leakage. A pressure source inlet / vent is located at the top, and a drain outlet is located at the bottom. Simultaneously, a process medium coolant inlet and outlet are provided. The process medium transfers the cooling buffer solution through the maximum contact surface of the coils inside the sealing liquid tank, which is used for on-site coolant connection, facilitating operation and forming another closed loop. During operation, it effectively removes heat, lowers the sealing cavity temperature, prevents liquid film vaporization, improves lubrication conditions, prevents dry operation, impurity sedimentation, and air pocket formation, effectively and reliably controls temperature changes, and extends the life of the mechanical seal; it provides reliable assurance for the long-term stable operation of the pump unit.
