IN MORE DETAIL
What is a seal support in mechanical seals?
A mechanical seal support system is an auxiliary system designed to maintain the correct operating conditions for a mechanical seal.
It regulates pressure, temperature, lubrication and contamination control around the seal. John Crane’s mechanical seal support systems help ensure reliable performance, reduce wear and extend MTBR in industrial applications.
How sealing solutions support predictive maintenance
John Crane’s advanced sealing solutions capture near real-time data on seal performance, temperature, pressure and operating conditions. This allows operators to identify early warning signs, optimise maintenance intervals and reduce unplanned downtime.
John Crane supports predictive maintenance through:
- Condition monitoring solutions that track seal performance and detect abnormalities before failure occurs.
- Digital diagnostics and analytics that interpret operating data to predict maintenance needs.
- Reliability engineering services that identify root causes, optimise seal selection and improve equipment performance.
- Proactive maintenance programmes that help extend seal life, reduce operational costs and enhance asset reliability.
With these integrated sealing solutions and services, John Crane helps facilities move from reactive maintenance to data-driven reliability.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Common questions
What are seal support systems?
Seal support systems are engineered arrangements that control pressure, temperature, lubrication and fluid conditions around mechanical seals. They create the ideal conditions for safe, efficient sealing in pumps and rotating equipment. John Crane’s mechanical seal support systems enhance reliability, protect critical assets and help meet demanding industrial and regulatory requirements.
Why is seal support system pressure important?
Seal support system pressure is essential because it maintains the correct operating environment around the mechanical seal. Stable pressure prevents process fluid intrusion, reduces heat generation and minimises wear. John Crane seal support systems ensure optimal pressure control, improving seal reliability, extending service life and reducing unplanned downtime.
