Centrifugal compressors take in large volumes of gases, some of which are toxic and extremely dangerous. To contain these gases and avoid any leakages from taking place, dry gas seals are utilized. Dry gas seals need to be maintained and tested regularly, so designing a reliable testing system for the dry gas seal is very important to ensure a safe working environment in the company. This project focuses on designing a dry gas seal testing bench that needs to follow API 692 standards such that it runs certain testing conditions on the dry gas seal and measure gas leakage rate during the operation. The main requirements of the test bench are to rotate the shaft in the seal up to 6000 RPM, to supply gas with pressure up to 220 bars, to withstand a temperature of 0- 220°C and to be able to measure gas leakage rate up to 15 scfm and to ensure a safe operation.
