Zero Leakage Compressor Seals
Abstract
Dry gas seal is applied to refrigeration compressor. Some of configurations for dry gas seal system are shown in API 617 and 614, however those systems are designed with condition that leak gas from dry gas seal is released to atmosphere or flare system.
In order to minimize emissions and refrigerant make up, this paper introduces the development of new concept of leakage recovery system by distillation column (process patented), and provides verification test results.
