DGS-CT | API 692 Tandem Dry Gas Seal for Compressors

A tandem dry gas seal consists of two single seals arranged in series. It is suitable for medium- and high-pressure applications where some process or seal gas leakage to the atmosphere is acceptable. The tandem configuration provides a secondary seal for added protection. If the primary seal fails, the secondary seal operates under primary seal conditions, helping prevent uncontrolled leakage and enabling safe compressor shutdown.

Operating Parameters:

Pressure: 0~15MPA

Temperature: -40~200℃

Linear Velocity: ≤160m/s

Shaft size : 45~250mm

The above limit application parameters are not met simultaneously, customized design for particular applications.

Material:

Metal parts: 410,304,316L,2507

Seal ring: SSiC-Carbon graphite,WC- Carbon graphite

Elastomer ring: FKM,EPDM,PTFE,FFKM

Spring: 316L,Hastelloy C

DGS-CT is a tandem dry gas seal, suits high-pressure applications, large shaft diameters, and demanding operating conditions. Non-contacting seal faces running.The seal uses two sets of tandem friction pairs. The primary seal serves as the main seal, while the secondary seal provides safety protection. The surrounding seat design effectively reduces equipment damage caused by a broken seat.The auxiliary seal uses a high-performance polymer seal. It provides good temperature, pressure, and corrosion resistance.

Both seal stages can withstand the full pressure of the process medium. If the primary seal fails, the secondary seal can still operate under the full medium pressure.

The secondary seal does not require a separate nitrogen supply. Both primary and secondary seal gases come from the process gas. A small amount of process gas may enter the atmosphere through secondary seal leakage.

Both unidirectional and bidirectional grooves are available. The cartridge design simplifies installation and dismantling.

The seal suits applications without an on-site nitrogen supply. It also suits applications where leaked process gas requires recovery. This design provides high safety and reliability for demanding compressor applications.
