Redura(R) Piston Sealing Systems

Product catalog summary
Overview of ReduRa® Piston Sealing Systems
ReduRa® Piston sealing systems are engineered to enhance sealing efficiency and reduce wear through a combination of piston and rider rings. These systems, part of Burckhardt Compression's product line, are recognized for their reliability, durability, and advanced sealing elements, aiming to maximize mean time between overhauls (MTBO) while minimizing leakage and life cycle costs.

Specifications and Design
The systems employ a heterogeneous sealing approach, optimizing performance for various compression modes such as double acting, single acting, and dual acting pistons. The design takes into account pressure components to ensure efficient sealing and cost-effectiveness.

Applications
ReduRa® systems are versatile, suitable for industries like upstream oil & gas, gas transport & storage, refineries, petrochemical, industrial gases, food & beverage, mining, and power stations. They accommodate a wide range of gases and compressor designs, including both lubricated and non-lubricated systems, with cylinder diameters up to 1,200 mm.

Performance and Efficiency
Engineered for high-performance applications, ReduRa® systems feature robust sealing elements that manage both static and dynamic pressure components, ensuring long-term efficiency and durability with specific configurations for different piston types and compression stages.

Key Features and Benefits
  • Patented in-house designs and extensive material research.
  • Optimized for various pressure components and load conditions.
  • High durability and sustained leakage tightness.
  • Specialized designs for handling gases with different molecular weights.
  • Leakage tightness ratings ensure performance over the product's lifetime.


Conclusion
ReduRa® Piston sealing systems offer a comprehensive solution for high-performance sealing needs in reciprocating compressors, balancing efficiency, durability, and cost-effectiveness across diverse industrial applications.

Specifications
The document details a twin piston ring coupled type chamber, developed and patented in-house, featuring a highly efficient piston sealing element for handling static pressure and sealing gas within the compression chamber. The design includes a pre-tensioned multi-piece sealing ring with a tangential cut and a classical scarf joint rider ring, available in various designs for cylinder bore diameters up to 1,200 mm.

Design and Application
Piston rings are designed for both dry running and lubricated systems, capable of handling single and double acting compression of gases with varying molecular weights, suitable for high-pressure applications up to 560 bara. They are used in specific applications like bottle fillers and pipeline compressors.

Specific Properties
Piston rings are combined with retained piston rings and pressure breakers for optimized sealing systems, designed to be wear-free after running in, easy to assemble, and provide improved sealing efficiency and durability, emphasizing economic benefits and long-term leak tightness.

Materials
Materials used for piston sealing elements include PTFE-compounds, high-temperature polymers, polymer blends, synthetic coals, bronze, and sintered metals, selected based on application requirements for optimal performance and durability.
