Goulds Taper BoreTM Plus: How It Works

Goulds TaperBoreTM Plus: How It Works
The unique flow path created by the Vane Particle Elector directs solids away from the mechanical seal, not at the seal as with other tapered bore designs. And the amount of solids entering the bore is minimized. Air and vapors are also efficiently removed. On services with or without solids, air or vapors, Goulds TaperBoreTM PLUS is the effective solution for extended seal and pump life and lower maintenance costs.
  1. Solids/liquid mixture flows toward mechanical seal/seal chamber.
  2. Turbulent zone. Some solids continue to flow toward shaft. Other solids are forced back out by centrifugal force (generated by back pump-out vanes).
  3. Clean liquid continues to move toward mechanical seal faces. Solids, air, vapors flow away from seal.
  4. Low pressure zone create by Vane Particle Ejector. Solids, air, vapor liquid mixture exit seal chamber bore.
  5. Flow in TaperBoreTMPLUS seal chamber assures efficient heat removal (cooling) and lubrication. Seal face heat is dissipated. Seal faces are continuously flushed with clean liquid.
