Since the corrosion inhibitor hydrazine has been forbidden as of the health risks connected to it, mechanical seals
of boiler feedwater pumps show signs of electrical corrosion unknown before. The relative movement between
the sliding ring and the stationary ring provokes static
charging which in contrast to the past are no longer
diverted as of the very low conductivity of the boiler water below one micro-Siemens per cm [S/cm]. Within
short periods of operation in some cases only a few hundred operational hours pieces having the size of nger
tips break o from the sliding and/or the stationary ring
and cause rapid increases in leakage current. Diamondcoated (DLC) mechanical seals avoid this problem and
extend durability remarkably.[1]
