TYPE 28 Compressor Seals

Dry-Running, Non-Contacting Gas Seals

28AT/28XP/28EXP

Standard Unidirectional Groove Design

Optional Bidirectional Groove Design

Product Description
Type 28 compressor dry-running gas seals have been the industry standard since the 1970s for gas-handling turbomachinery. Utilizing John Crane's patented spiral groove pattern, these seals are non-contacting in operation.

Design Features
Shrouded mating ring prevents secondary damage in the event of a mating ring fracture Low-level leakage can be vented to a safe area, used as fuel to drive equipment, or returned to process via a low-pressure ejector

During dynamic operation, the mating ring/seat and primary ring/face maintain a sealing gap of approximately 0.0002 in./5 microns, thereby eliminating wear These seals eliminate seal oil contamination and reduce maintenance costs and downtime Single, double opposed, and tandem cartridge seals are capable of handling a wide variety of gas sealing applications in the gas collection/transmission, refining, chemical and petrochemical processing industries
