John Crane Seal Water Flow Meter
>
DONGGUAN HydroBlue CO.,LTD. operates as a technology-focused enterprise offering full-spectrum technical solutions across fluid machinery, fluid engineering, industrial automation, and power conversion systems. Our 8-strong engineering team brings together expertise in fluid mechanics, electrical engineering, and electronic engineering to bridge the gap between R&D and commercial production. Ongoing joint development with Jiangsu University, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Guangdong University of Technology ensures our processes and products stay ahead of industry requirements worldwide. Jiangsu University National Research Center of Pumps provides seal water station pressure and flow modeling for John Crane single seal support systems under varying pump operating conditions to ensure stable seal face cooling and lubrication; Chinese Academy of Sciences develops advanced barrier fluid filtration technology and microbiological growth inhibitors for seal water stations handling non-potable water or open-loop cooling systems; Guangdong University of Technology supports IoT-enabled remote seal water station monitoring platform development for real-time pressure, temperature, and fluid level tracking with automated maintenance alerts.

Barrier Fluid |
Temperature Range |
Viscosity (cSt @ 40°C) |
Compatibility |
Typical Application |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Clean water (treated) |
5–90°C |
0.65 |
Elastomer NBR/EPDM/FKM; no precipitates |
General water pumps, cooling towers, HVAC |
|
Water + glycol (30–50%) |
-20°C to +90°C |
2.5–5.0 |
EPDM (not NBR); check elastomer compatibility |
Cold climate, freeze protection in outdoor installations |
|
Light mineral oil |
-10°C to +150°C |
10–30 |
FKM elastomer; not compatible with NBR |
High-temperature water, hot process, boiler feed |
|
Water + anti-corrosion inhibitor |
5–95°C |
0.65–1.0 |
All standard elastomers; protects SS 304/316 wetted parts |
Seawater pumps, cooling water with high chloride content |

Interval |
Check Item |
Action Required |
|---|---|---|
|
Daily (visual) |
Reservoir fluid level (sight glass) |
Top up if level is below minimum line; investigate cause if consumption is abnormal |
|
Monthly |
Cooling water flow rate and temperature |
Check cooling water supply is at design flow; clean strainer if flow is reduced |
|
Quarterly |
Barrier fluid clarity and pH |
If fluid is discolored, cloudy, or contains particles, drain, flush, and refill; test pH per manufacturer specification (6.5–8.5 for water-based fluids) |
|
Semi-annual |
Pressure gauge calibration |
Verify gauge reading against reference; replace if deviation exceeds 5% of full scale |
|
Annual |
Full system drain, clean, and inspection |
Drain barrier fluid; disassemble and inspect reservoir interior for scaling, corrosion, or sediment; clean cooling coil; replace O-rings on sight glass and fill cap |
|
Annual |
Cooling coil integrity |
Hydrostatically test cooling coil at 1.5× operating pressure; repair or replace if leaks are detected |
|
Symptom |
Likely Cause |
Corrective Action |
|---|---|---|
|
Barrier fluid temperature increasing during pump operation |
Insufficient cooling water flow; air lock in circulation lines; cooling coil fouled |
Check cooling water supply valve; vent circulation lines; clean cooling coil with descaling solution |
|
Rapid fluid loss from reservoir |
Seal face leakage (process fluid entering barrier fluid or barrier fluid escaping past seal); external leak at fitting |
Check barrier fluid for process fluid contamination; tighten all compression fittings; if seal leakage confirmed, schedule seal replacement |
|
Fluid level rising (water station overfilling) |
Cooling coil leak: cooling water entering barrier fluid; or seal leakage: process fluid entering barrier fluid |
Isolate cooling water; if level stops rising, cooling coil is leaking — replace coil. If level continues rising, seal is leaking process fluid into barrier fluid — replace seal |
|
No circulation observed (supply line cold, return line cold) |
Air lock in piping; reservoir mounted too low relative to seal chamber; circulation path blocked |
Vent system at highest point; confirm reservoir outlet is at least 300 mm above seal chamber top; check for blockages in supply and return ports |
|
Pressure gauge fluctuating rapidly |
Gas entrainment in barrier fluid; pump pressure pulsation transmitted to seal chamber |
Vent gas from reservoir headspace; check pump suction conditions; if pulsation is severe, install a pulsation dampener on the circulation line |
