[0014] As shown in Figure 4As shown, the intake end double face mechanical seal includes an intake end female rotor seal and an intake end male rotor seal, and the exhaust end double face mechanical seal includes an exhaust end female rotor seal and an exhaust end male rotor seal. The intake end female rotor seal, the intake end male rotor seal, the exhaust end female rotor seal and the exhaust end male rotor seal are connected to an oil supply main pipe 17 through four oil supply pipes 16. A pressure transmitter PT1 is arranged on the oil supply main pipe 17. The four oil supply pipes 16 are provided with stop valves (J04, J03, J02, J01), orifices (R04, R03, R02, R01) and pressure gauges (PG05, PG04, PG03, PG02). The oil supply pressure can be changed by adjusting the opening degree of the stop valves, and the oil supply amount is limited. The oil return pipe 18 connected to the exhaust end double face mechanical seal is provided with a third pressure gauge PG01 and a self-operated pressure differential regulating valve PDCV01. The oil return pipe 18 connected to the exhaust end double face mechanical seal and the oil return pipe 19 connected to the intake end double face mechanical seal are combined into an oil return main pipe 20 for discharge.

The oil return pipe 18 and the oil return pipe 19 are further respectively provided with a thermometer TG1 and a thermometer TG2.
[0015] See Figure 3 As shown, the carbon ring sealing process flow is as follows: the sealing gas is divided into two paths after passing through the filter 13. One path enters the intake end carbon ring seal 2 through the first regulating valve PCV01, and the other path enters the exhaust end carbon ring seal 4 through the second regulating valve PV01. For the intake end carbon ring seal 2, the compressor inlet process gas has stable and low temperature and pressure, and is not easy to produce polymer. Therefore, the gap between the intake end carbon ring seal 2 and the shaft is free of impurities, and the process gas pressure in the gap is a fixed value. After the sealing gas pressure is adjusted by the first regulating valve PCV01 (the sealing gas pressure of the intake end is higher than the process gas intake pressure), the pressure of the first pressure gauge PG02 is stable, which can ensure that the process gas cannot leak from the intake end carbon ring seal 2. For the exhaust end carbon ring seal 4, the process gas is compressed by the compressor and is high in temperature and pressure, which may cause polymer to block in the gap between the exhaust end carbon ring seal 4 and the shaft, and thus the pressure of the process gas in the exhaust end carbon ring seal 4 is variable (the pressure can be measured by the second pressure gauge PG03). The second regulating valve PV01 adjusts the sealing gas pressure of the exhaust end carbon ring seal 4 to be always 0.05 MPa higher than the pressure in the balance pipe 14 through the feedback signal of the pressure differential transmitter PDT01, thereby playing a sealing role. The sealing gas refers to high-pressure chloromethane gas, and the process gas refers to chloromethane gas.
[0016] See Figure 4As shown, the double-end-face mechanical seal process flow; high-pressure sealing oil through the inlet is divided into 4 oil supply pipes, respectively into the inlet end female rotor mechanical seal, inlet end male rotor mechanical seal, exhaust end female rotor mechanical seal, exhaust end male rotor mechanical seal, sealing oil through the inlet end double-end-face mechanical seal and exhaust end double-end-face mechanical seal after the collection to the oil return pipe discharge. For the inlet end double-end-face mechanical seal 8, because the inlet end carbon ring seal 2 sealing gas pressure is fixed, its oil supply pressure only needs to be higher than the sealing gas pressure, generally high 0.1MPa. For the exhaust end double-end-face mechanical seal 4, the exhaust end carbon ring seal 4 sealing gas pressure is variable, the sealing oil pressure needs to be higher than the sealing gas pressure, so the self-acting differential pressure regulating valve PDCV01 is installed on the oil return pipe of the exhaust end double-end-face mechanical seal 6, to ensure that the pressure difference of the two pressure points is stable at 0.1MPa, the high-pressure side of the pressure point is the exhaust end double-end-face mechanical seal 6 oil return pressure, the low-pressure side pressure point is the exhaust end carbon ring seal 4 gas pressure, there may be a small amount of sealing oil leaked into the gap between the mechanical seal and the carbon ring seal, which can be discharged after shutdown Figure 3 V01, V02, V03, V04 hand valves of the medium carbon ring seal blowdown line. Among them, the sealing oil refers to high-pressure lubricating oil.
