Labyrinth seals

Labyrinth seals have been used since 1990 to reduce the flow of compressible fluid between rotating and stationary elements of centrifugal compressors, blowers, turboexpanders, steam and gas turbines and other equipment.

They are used as interstage, intersectional, end seals, as well as seals of unloading devices and are designed for specific operating parameters.

Meets the requirements of API 617 standard

Advantages:

  • high sealing ability
  • anti-circulation, do not excite vibrations
  • high damping capacity, reduced vibration levels
  • allow short-term contact with rotating elements (polymer)
  • long service life
  • low wear, stable clearances
  • installation in existing standard places
  • compactness, high maintainability (replacement of polymer inserts)
