TYPE 93FR – Housing – Retainer – Clamp Plate – Garter Spring – Anti-rotation Pin F – Bushing Segment G – Sleeve FLOATING RING SEPARATION SEAL Technical Specification Product Description Performance Capabilities The Type 93FR is a non-contacting carbon bushing designed to protect dry gas seals from bearing oil ingress. • Size range: 1.57" to 14.76"/40 mm to 375 mm with sleeve to fit all metric or imperial shaft sizes • Segments are specifically designed to prevent oil migration. • Separation gas (normally nitrogen or air) is injected between the two segmented bushings effectively creating a pressure barrier between the bearing and dry gas seal cavity. • Advanced materials and design eliminate wear under normal running, promoting long service life. • Maximum separation gas operating differential pressure: 7.5 psi/0.5 bar • Recommended separation gas operating differential pressure; 0.75 to 1.5 psi/0.05 to 0.1 bar • Separation gases: nitrogen, air Design Features • Non-contacting for longer life and improved reliability; low heat generation • Runs at low operating pressure differential enabling low gas consumption • Specially designed segments further minimise gas consumption • Universal design, independent of shaft rotation • Will retrofit many traditional carbon bushing rings • Suitable for running with nitrogen separation gas irrespective of dew point • Self-centring design minimizes wear even during upset conditions

TYPE 93FR FLOATING RING SEPARATION SEAL Technical Specification Materials of Construction SEAL COMPONENT DESCRIPTION STANDARD MATERIALS Bushing Segments Garter Spring Stainless Steel Housing Assembly Clamp Plate Assembly Alternative materials are available, consult John Crane Engineering. Performance Recommendations • Separation gas specification: Filtration: 10 microns and dry. Proper consideration must be given as to the possibility of explosive mixtures. • Operating environment: Vibration levels within API 617. Bearing housing should be well drained. Bearing housing should not be...
