IMPELLERS: Offered in many different designs and constructions of several different materials, depending upon the operating conditions and gas being handled. The impeller is statically and dynamically balanced and then oversped to 15% above maximum operating speed. The impeller is then mounted on the shaft with a suitable locking device and the rotor assembly is dynamically balanced. Designed for top performance and minimal maintenance Multi-Stage Rotor Assembly Standard Labyrinth Seal Open Wheeled Rotor Assembly Buffered Labyrinth Seal Buffered Carbon Ring Seal Double Opposed Dry Gas Seal...
