When a seal failed, divers had to fit blanks to the pump inlets below the waterline before it was possible to carry out a repair.
Mean time between failure doubles
The customer was experiencing problems with the main lubrication oil pump which was performing the critical duty of supplying lubricating oil to the carrier’s main engines.
Trialling different solutions to improve MTBF
Competitor mechanical seals on a high-pressure service water (HPSW) heat pumps were failing frequently, so the naval pump engineers asked AESSEAL to investigate
