Design Features
The AESSEAL range of single cartridge mechanical seals incorporates a pumping ring which has been designed specically to idealize the conditions at the seal faces. The CAPI-23 is best suited for hot process applications.
The CAPI-23 design includes the following features;

Monolithic Seal Faces
All seal faces are of monolithic construction and therefore are less likely to be subject to face rotation in high or low temperature applications.
The Drive System

Finite Element Analysis has been used to optimize seal face drive. Precision machined drive lugs / pins help to reduce the impact between the drive ring and seal face on start-up/shut down, when using monolithic brittle face materials such as Silicon Carbide or Carbon.
Large Volume of Process Fluid over Seal Faces

The large volume of process uid around the seal faces improves heat dissipation, helping to increase seal life.
Full Cartridge Plan 23

The CAPI-23 is a true cartridge Plan 23 seal. This avoids the time consuming operation of setting and aligning a separate seal and pumping ring (depicted to the right).
Large Flush Ports

All environmental Control Ports are 3/8 NPT, helping to maximize the cooling eect around the seal faces. The position of the port, directly over the seal faces, helps with the venting operation.
Stationary Seal Design

The stationary seal construction helps to minimize spring fatigue thereby ensuring optimum performance on high shaft speed applications.
Optional Integral Floating Bush

Upon request, the CAPI-23 is supplied with a throttle bush to help isolate the hot process media from the Plan 23 system.
Separate conventional seal and pumping ring conguration.
