AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies for monitoring mechanical seal leaks in pumps suffer from problems such as insufficiently precise flow regulation, delayed response, and unsuitability for continuous production. In particular, during the transportation of corrosive media or slurry-like liquids, leaks of cooling water or media can lead to contamination.
The detection system, composed of sensors such as pressure transmitters, electromagnetic flow meters, resistance thermometers, pH meters, and radar level gauges, monitors the cooling water pipeline in real time through a DCS control system. It combines changes in flow rate and pH value to determine leakage, thereby achieving real-time monitoring and control of the pump's mechanical seal.
It enables real-time monitoring of cooling water pipelines, timely handling of leaks, protection of pump operation, extension of service life, and assurance of production continuity and safety.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility patent pertains to the mechanical seal of pumps and relates to a pump seal water leakage detection and control device. Background Technology
[0002] Pumps are used frequently and for various purposes in industrial processes, primarily for the transportation and transfer of liquids. When transporting corrosive media or slurries, the mechanical seal of the pump requires cooling water to protect it. However, the flow rate of the cooling water varies depending on the pump model and the specific mechanical seal, so the flow rate must be adjusted for each pump to meet the cooling requirements of the mechanical seal. A mechanical seal leak could result in either cooling water leaking into the medium or the medium leaking into the cooling water, causing contamination.
[0003] While some improvements exist in existing technologies for monitoring mechanical seal leakage, shortcomings remain. For example, CN219978324U employs flow indicators and conductivity monitoring, but lacks dynamic temperature compensation; CN109282559A's differential pressure and temperature interlock scheme does not consider the applicability of the gas state equation under extreme temperatures; and CN215805253U suffers from response lag due to its intermittent detection method, making it unsuitable for continuous production requirements.
