The cartridge seal with single spring, with the core significance of protecting the elastic element from medium damage, thereby extending the service life of the seal under harsh working conditions.
1. Core significance: Isolation protection, resistance to harsh working conditions
The most direct benefit of placing the large spring outside the sealed chamber is to completely prevent the spring from coming into contact with the conveying medium. This solves several fatal problems of built-in springs under specific working conditions:
Corrosion prevention: For highly corrosive media, cartridge seal with single spring can be made of more conventional corrosion-resistant materials to prevent the spring from being corroded and failing.
Anti clogging and jamming: When the medium contains particles, impurities or is prone to crystallization, the gaps of the built-in spring are easily blocked, resulting in the loss of compensation function. The external design fundamentally avoids this problem.
Easy to observe and maintain: The cartridge seal with single spring is exposed to the outside, and its condition is clear at a glance, making installation, inspection, and replacement more convenient.

2. Cost and limitations: Low applicable pressure
The cartridge seal with single spring also brings a significant mechanical flaw: the direction of the medium pressure is opposite to the direction of the spring's elastic force. This means:
The sealing stability is greatly affected by pressure fluctuations: when the medium pressure fluctuates and the compensation ability of the spring is insufficient, it may cause the sealing end face to be unstable, and even pushed away by the medium pressure, resulting in serious leakage.
Limited applicable pressure: Therefore, external mechanical seals are usually only suitable for situations where the medium pressure is low.

3. Typical application scenarios
Based on the above characteristics, the external design of cartridge seal with single spring is mainly aimed at the following working conditions:
Containing particles/easily crystallizable media: such as desulfurization slurry, ore slurry, crystal salt solution, etc., to prevent the spring from being wrapped or stuck.
Strong corrosive medium: Avoid spring failure due to corrosion.
High viscosity medium: The built-in spring may not function properly due to the viscosity of the medium.
Simply put, external large springs are a design strategy that sacrifices some pressure adaptability in exchange for longer service life in harsh media.
