SEALING

Seals are designed either to stop process gas from escaping, to stop contaminants from entering the process, or both.

We can offer gas-tight compressors when needed.

We can recommend a sealing arrangement according to your requirements.

Shaft Seals (Dynamic Seals)

Our Duragas machines can be fitted with a combination of the following seals. Seals can generally be either single or dual. Two independent sealing systems can be deployed for dangerous gases.

  • Lip Seal

 

  • Labyrinth Seal

 

  • Carbon Ring Seal

 

  • Wet mechanical seal
    (water or oil lubricated)

    We can offer a pressurised barrier system in accordance with API 682 seal plan 53B (self-circulating), or plan 54 (pumped) if required.
  • Dry mechanical seal
    (gas lubricated)

    We can offer a pressurised barrier system in accordance with API 682 seal plan 74
  • Magnetic Drive Coupling
    A hermetic seal is formed by the containment shell (can / membrane / shroud) of the mag’ drive. The compressor is said to be ‘sealless’ at the drive shaft. Compliance with API Standard 685 is available.
