Dear all,
API 619 suggests some types of shaft seals for dry screw compressors including labyrinths, carbon rings and dry gas seals.
Are all of these seals types applicable and/or equivalent? What are the criteria to select one type and how can we choose the right seal type for a particular...
Thank you so much awhicker84. I have some questions and would appreciate it if you could direct me.
First, what are the criteria to select among the shaft seals introduced in section 5.6 (Labyrinth, carbon rings, etc.)? How can we select the right seal type?
Thanks PackElend, but not all terms are defined in the standard.
Maybe I need to first study more about the screw compessors.
Is there any tutorial which introduces the inner pieces of these compressors in details, and/or explains the functions of their seal and lube sysyems?
Many thanks
Dear all,
I have just started working with oil-free screw compressors. There are some terms in API 619 datasheet which I am not familiar with and do not know their meaning.
Is there any tutorial, user guide, etc. which explains the terms of this standard datasheet?
Many thanks.
Dear all,
I am new in seal engineering areas. I want to purchase an API-610 centrifugal pump and want to select the appropriate seal piping plan from the standard plans of API-682.
Given specific liquid characteristics (liquid type, vapor pressure, temperature, SG, etc.), how can we select a...
