For some media that are easily vaporized at high temperatures, such as high-temperature hydrocarbon media in the petroleum and chemical industry, the temperature rise at the machine seal may cause the media to vaporize near the sealing surface, forming a vapor film that destroys the integrity of the seal and causes leakage. Machine seal cooling can reduce the temperature of the medium, prevent its vaporization, and ensure the sealing performance. At the same time, in some special working conditions, such as media with corrosive and toxic properties, cooling water can play a role in isolating the medium, preventing the medium from leaking into the environment, and protecting the environment and personnel safety.
