Abstract: A pump arrangement for pumping barrier liquid in a sealed space of a mechanical shaft seal includes a housing assemblable in connection with a rotatable shaft of a device to be sealed by the mechanical shaft seal. The housing includes a pumping element, which is configured to be in force transmission connection with the rotatable shaft to provide power to operate the pumping element when in use.

Abstract: A mechanical seal has a rotary part and a non-rotary part, the rotary part having at least a rotary slide ring and a rotary slide ring carrier, and the non-rotary part having at least a non-rotary slide ring and a non-rotary slide ring carrier. The mechanical seal includes a circumferential groove in one of the rotary slide ring and the non-rotary slide ring and a sensor in communication with the mechanical seal.

Abstract: A double mechanical seal includes a primary stationary seal ring, a primary rotary seal ring, a secondary stationary seal ring and a secondary rotary seal ring. The primary stationary seal ring includes a slide ring and a primary carrier ring, the primary carrier ring having a first axial end with a seat for the slide ring and a second axial end with a rim opposite the first axial end. The secondary stationary seal ring includes a slide ring and a secondary carrier ring, the secondary carrier ring having an inlet recess or opening and an outlet recess or opening for a barrier fluid. The primary carrier ring has a recessed and oblong section or an oblong opening, and the inlet and outlet recesses or openings in the secondary carrier ring are arranged, when in use, in radial flow communication with the recessed and oblong section or the oblong opening.
