Saturation is an important, yet often misunderstood concept in the cryogenic industry. A basic understanding of the term “saturation” is necessary to harness and exploit the benefits of using cryogenic liquids in our specific industries and end-use applications. In the cryogenic realm, the word ‘saturation’ is a hermodynamic term defining the condition of a liquid whose temperature and pressure are […]
For externally mounted centrifugal cryogenic pumps, manufacturers expect mechanical seals to last for at least 1,000 hours if run under recommended conditions. Given the hassle and expense to make repairs, and the associated downtime, leaky pump seals are costly.
