TYPE 28 DRY-RUNNING, NON-CONTACTING GAS SEALS Technical Specification Standard Unidirectional Groove Design Product Description Type 28 compressor dry-running gas seals have been the industry standard since the 1970s for gas-handling turbomachinery. Utilizing John Crane's patented spiral groove pattern, these seals are non-contacting in operation. • During dynamic operation, the mating ring/seat and primary ring/face maintain a sealing gap of approximately 0.0002 in./5 microns, thereby eliminating wear • These seals eliminate seal oil contamination and reduce maintenance costs and downtime • Single, double opposed, and tandem cartridge seals are capable of handling a wide variety of gas sealing applications in the gas collection/transmission, refining, chemical and petrochemical processing industries Optional Bidirectional Groove Design Design Features • Shrouded mating ring prevents secondary damage in the event of a mating ring fracture • Low-level leakage can be vented to a safe area, used as fuel to drive equipment, or returned to process via a low-pressure ejector Performance Capabilities • Temperature: Up to 6,500 psi(g)/450 bar(g) across single stage
