The NVS-4 carbon floating ring seal features a unique overlapping mortise design. The sealing ring provides an inward contraction of the inner bore. Radial springs maintain effective contact between the sealing ring and shaft surface.
The split seal housing allows installation and replacement without disassembling the bearing housing. This design also helps achieve low leakage rates during operation.
The carbon rings operate in contact with the shaft, resulting in normal wear. The NVS-4 is mainly used in gas handling equipment for steam, oil and gas, and wet gas applications.
NVS-4 can be used as a direct alternative to the Burgmann WD500 type.
It can be used in combination with NVS-1, NVS-2, and NVS-3.
It can be paired with the API 682 Plan 74 system designed and manufactured by Novseal.
