Leakage problem of the carbon ring seal in steam compressors
Thread Content
The carbon ring seals used in our company’s steam compressors consist of 7 layers, and they are of the Borgmann brand. However, excessive leakage occurs frequently. The inside of the compressor contains clean saturated steam at a temperature of 126 degrees Celsius; the coaxiality of the shaft is also fine, and the rotation speed is 5000. I would like to ask the experts what could be the cause of this?
Could it be that a high medium temperature affects the sealing performance of the carbon ring mechanical seal? It might be worth trying a mechanical seal made of a different material
It’s worn out; currently, carbon ring seals available in China are of very good quality, so there’s no need to import Borgman seals
Our company specializes in imported seals from Germany, focusing on seals designed for extremely low temperatures of -270°C, as well as for ultra-high temperatures of +1100°C. They are also suitable for high pressures up to 680 MPa, and for applications requiring exceptional corrosion resistance. We offer both dynamic and static seals; the dynamic seals can handle speeds of up to 40 m/s (or even higher). For more information, please contact 18678860293 via VX
