DETAILS

Peculiarities

Seal Type 28ST is a single-staged non-contacting gas lubricated seal with a unique spiral groove design for low-speed and high-speed applications within all the equipment operated under transient and continuous conditions.

Seal Type 28ST has been designed to replace conventional sealing devices (segmented carbon rings and labyrinths), whether fitted to an internally or externally mounted carbon box without modifications to the turbine.

Advantages

  • Extended life time
  • Reduced steam leakage by 95%
  • Eliminated shaft wear under segmented carbon rings
  • Cartridge design
  • Reduced power consumption
  • Eliminated bearings contamination with vapour/ particles
  • Availability of bi-directional faces
  • Increased total turbine efficiency
  • Increased safety level (reduced noise level and steam leakage)

Materials

  • Face – Antimony filled carbon
  • Seat – Tungsten Carbide or coated ductile substrate
  • Hardware – 410 stainless steel
  • Secondary sealing – Inconel® and split carbon rings Crane-Foil©
