The new benchmark for separation sealing
Seven reasons why the Type 93AX from John Crane is the new benchmark for separation sealing.
Avoiding failure. Even in failure scenarios.
Our seals are used in critical applications where failure isn’t an option. But that doesn’t mean compressors always run optimally, or that human error never occurs. The Type 93AX coaxial seal is designed to work even in the event of multiple failure scenarios.
Scenario One:
Standard Operating Mode
Standard Operating Mode
For day-to-day, normal working conditions, the separation seal behaves in the way you’d expect - protecting the dry gas seal from the bearing oil. Gas in the inner diameter is directed towards the secondary vent.
Scenario Two:
Separation Gas Failure Mode
Separation Gas Failure Mode
In the event of separation gas failure, the seal is engineered so that high-pressure gas from the dry gas seal side creates flow towards the bearing side.
