Steam loss is a major problem in many industries as it incurs considerable cost, reduces efficiency, can be the cause of bearing failure and potentially represent a health and safety issue when it affects visibility around the turbine.
The many variations of steam turbine can be easily accommodated through AESSEAL’s modular approach to mechanical seal design. This modular approach enables different flange designs, bolt patterns, etc. to be easily accommodated and more complex changes are supported by our Engineering team and investment in modern manufacturing technologies.
Reduce process steam loss, improve turbine efficiency.
The STS™ mechanical seal has been developed in conjunction with a major oil refinery to replace existing carbon ring seals normally fitted to steam turbines. STS™ adopts AESSEAL® dry running gas compressor seal technology to provide a solution that significantly reduces the steam leakage typically associated with standard carbon ring seals.
Typical Benefits of Steam Turbine Mechanical Seal Technology
- Increased turbine reliability
- Reduced turbine maintenance costs
- Reduced bearing contamination
- Non-contacting technology extends life of seal
- Elimination of Shaft Wear – generated by the Carbon seal
- Greatly reduces steam loss and increases efficiency
Market-leading delivery performance from inventoried standard core modular components.
