ABSTRACT:
An improved mechanical seal assembly for separating high pressure fluid from lower pressure fluid including a vented Quad-ring in a non-rotatable seal ring for providing lower sliding friction and improved, more consistent pressure deflection of the non-rotating seal face, an improved means for positioning a pressure breakdown means located in the high pressure fluid for controlling the pressure differential between the high pressure fluid and the low pressure fluid by a predetermined amount and means for improving the circulation of clean fluid around the outer periphery of the seal assembly under conditions where the fluid being pumped is contaminated.
