uszczelnienie typu hydropad
Pictured above is a self-acting gas mechanical seal and rotating
face that is used for many applications. The “hydropad” design
uses radial grooves cut into the stationary carbon which act as
cooling passages for the gas to feed into the carbon/tungsten
carbide interface forming a thin film of gas for the carbon to ride on.

Discussion
The figure shows automatically operated mechanical gas-tight seal and rotating part. This type of seal is used in various applications. "Hydropad" technology uses radial grooves cut in the stationary carbon element. The grooves act as passages for cooling gas supplied to the "carbon / tungsten carbide" interface resulting in forming of thin layer of gas, on which carbon element slides.
