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 case?

Thanks.
