dc.description.abstract | Steam turbines are used throughout the process industries and
provide a reliable means of driving pumps, compressors; and other
rotating equipment. Carbon rings are currently the most common
way
.
of seali g these turbines. Although simple in design, the
sealmg capability of these devices is very low. This results in high
steam losses, lower efficiency, and decreased equipment
reliability.
This paper discusses the design and testing of a new
noncontacting seal for operation in steam turbines. This seal was
desi ned to improve turbine efficiency �and equipment reliability.
Details from three field applications are discussed. Guidelines for
installation and operation of steam turbine seals are also discussed,
based on experience in the laboratory and field applications. | en |
