Looking for compressor seals? Then you’ve come to the right place at Qseals. Every type of seal has its own application. On this page you’ll read what a compressor seal is, how it works and where to use it.
What is a compressor seal?
A compressor seal is a shaft seal for compressors. It seals the rotating part in the compressor housing and so stops process gases from escaping into the atmosphere. A compressor seal is therefore a gas seal, also known as a dry gas seal.
How does a compressor seal work?
A compressor seal consists of a primary ring and a mating ring. While the compressor is running, a dynamic force lifts the primary ring a fraction away from the mating ring. The rings then run without direct contact, which limits wear.
Applications
Compressor seals are mainly used in high-speed applications. A common example is compressors in natural gas transmission and distribution networks, where dry gas seals are the standard.
