Dry Gas Seal - Working Principles

A dry gas seal is a non-contacting, gas-lubricated mechanical seal in which a rotating mating ring with spiral-groove geometry creates a hydrodynamic pressure film between the seal faces. At only 3-5 m film thickness, the process gas (nitrogen, CO or clean air) forms a barrier that prevents product leakage to atmosphere without the need for liquid buffer fluids. The result is zero emissions, near-zero friction and maintenance-free operation for compressors, pumps, expanders and blowers.

Structure & Key Components

- Rotating Mating Ring - laser-machined spiral grooves on a tungsten-carbide or silicon-carbide substrate.

- Stationary Seal Ring - lapped to optical flatness ( less than or equal to 0.6 helium light band).

- Secondary Seals - O-rings or metal bellows isolate the process side from the atmosphere.

- Springs/Biasing System - maintains face contact during start-up and shut-down.

- Barrier Gas Ports - introduce filtered, dry gas at 2-5 bar above process pressure.

- Monitoring Ports - pressure and temperature taps for remote condition monitoring.

Core Applications

- Centrifugal & screw compressors in LNG, petrochemical and refinery units.

- High-speed turbo-expanders for hydrogen and CO capture plants.

- API-compliant pumps handling supercritical fluids.

- Cryogenic and high-pressure (> 300 bar) pipelines.

- Renewable-energy hydrogen compressors and CO refrigeration systems.
