A double shaft seal is individually designed to handle specific needs. Despite the fact that it is “tailor-made,” it fits all standard compressors with no extensions required.
Though it initially costs more, eventually you could save tens of thousands of Euros in energy consumption, maintenance, and operating costs. Multiplied by the number of seals at the plant, the total impact could be significant.
A double shaft seal is especially recommended when:
- You cannot afford to be shut down in the middle of a batch operation
- You do not have a standby compressor and experience shows that the seal failure is your highest probability of an unexpected shut down
- Dealing with expensive products, or products which have a negative effect on the environment
- You need a flexible seal design for several drive speed conditions (on FR-driven compressor units)
- You need seal control from a distance (on service-free compressor units)
You need double shaft seals to protect your personnel if your product fits any of the following categories:
- A toxic liquid or gas
- A fire hazard
- A pollutant
- A carcinogen
- A radioactive fluid
- An explosive fluid
- Other dangerous characteristics
