Stuffing box pressure, with a centrifugal seal, is therefore reduced
to atmospheric pressure.
Seals without flushing
Centrifugal seal limitations
In order to provide a reliable seal without flush water,centrifugal
seals (expellers) are utilised. All centrifugal seals are limited in the amount of inlet head
they can accept in relation to the rated pump head.

Varying from design to design, most espellers will seal
