Service life of inter-grade seal made of ZL-104 material
Thread Content
How long is the service life of the inter-grade seal made of ZL-104 material?
When it comes to the theoretical service life, manufacturers generally specify 8,000 hours; however, the actual service life of a seal depends mainly on various factors such as operating conditions, handling methods, and installation.
My unit is a Shengyu model; it has been in use for 19 months now, and there is some air leakage. I’m wondering if the inter-stage seals are damaged. What is the typical gap for inter-stage seals? No random data was found
General empirical formula: Gap = 0.2 + (0.3~0.6)D/100, but the operating temperature must be taken into account.
