We have positive displacement pumps which use mechanical seals which are designed for a Max. Inlet pressure of 3.5bar.
It has been noticed that although we can maintain the 3.5bar during normal running conditions, the thermal relief valves on the inlet piping are set at 5.5bar
Does this mean the seals will leak or is the situation different when the seals are not rotating?
Regards
Paul
