A dry gas seal is a revolutionary way of sealing machines and protecting them from dust, moisture and other contaminants. A dry gas seal is a sealing device that uses pressurized gas to keep two surfaces from touching. The most common type of dry gas seal is the O-ring, which is used in many applications, including mechanical seals, piston rings, and gaskets. Dry gas seals are also used in many other industries, such as the food and beverage industry, where they are used to seal containers and prevent contamination. This type of seal not only helps to keep the machine running with maximum efficiency but also significantly reduce downtime, making it cost-effective in the long run. In this article, we"ll explore what a dry gas seal is, how it works and why you should consider using it for your machinery. By understanding the benefits of a dry gas seal and its uses, you can make an informed decision about the best sealing system for your needs. How does a dry gas seal work?Dry gas seals work by using a series of labyrinths to separate the high pressure seal gas from the atmosphere. The labyrinths are formed by a series of grooves and ridges on the surface of the seal ring. The seal ring is rotated at high speed, causing the gas to flow through the labyrinths. The gas is then forced through an aperture in the center of the seal ring, where it escapes into the atmosphere. What is a dry gas seal used for?Dry gas seals are used on rotating equipment to help minimize the leakage of high pressure gases from the inside of the machinery. This helps to reduce maintenance costs and improve safety. Dry gas seals are commonly used in applications such as pumps, compressors, turbines, and blowers. Advantages of a dry gas sealThere are many advantages of a dry gas mechanical seal. One advantage is that they are much simpler in design than other types of seals, making them more reliable and easier to maintain. Additionally, dry gas seals do not require the use of any lubricating fluids, which can leak or evaporate over time. This makes them more environmentally friendly and cost-effective in the long run. Finally, dry gas seals have a much longer lifespan than other types of seals, meaning that they need to be replaced less often.Disadvantages of a dry gas sealThere are several disadvantages of dry gas seals, including: - they can be expensive to purchase and install- they require careful maintenance and regular inspection- they can be susceptible to wear and tear- they can leak if not maintained properlyHow to choose the right dry gas seal for your applicationThere are a few key factors to consider when choosing the right dry gas mechanical seal for your application. The most important factor is the type of fluid being sealed. Gas seals are designed to seal either liquids or gases, but not both. Make sure to choose a gas seal that is compatible with the fluid you are sealing.Another important factor to consider is the pressure of the fluid being sealed. Gas seals are rated for different maximum pressures, so make sure to choose one that can handle the pressure of your application.Finally, take into account the size and shape of the sealing surfaces. Gas seals come in a variety of sizes and shapes to fit different applications, so make sure to choose one that will fit your needs.ConclusionDry gas seals are an extremely important component for many industrial operations, and their ability to prevent leaks has made them invaluable in a variety of applications. Understanding the basics of how dry gas mechanical seal work and how they can be used effectively is helpful when considering the various options available for any specific application. With the right choice, dry gas seals can provide reliable, leak-free performance which will save time, money and resources while ensuring safety and reliability.

A mechanical seal is simply a method of containing fluid within a vessel (typically pumps, mixers, etc.) where a rotating shaft passes through a stationary housing or occasionally, where the housing rotates around the shaft.

When sealing a centrifugal pump, the challenge is to allow a rotating shaft to enter the ‘wet’ area of the pump, without allowing large volumes of pressurized fluid to escape.

To address this challenge there needs to be a seal between the shaft and the pump housing that can contain the pressure of the process being pumped and withstand the friction caused by the shaft rotating.

Before examining how mechanical seals function it is important to understand other methods of forming this seal. One such method still widely used is Gland Packing.

The stationary part of the seal is fitted to the pump housing with a static seal –this may be sealed with an o-ring or gasket clamped between the stationary part and the pump housing.

The rotary portion of the seal is sealed onto the shaft usually with an O ring. This sealing point can also be regarded as static as this part of the seal rotates with the shaft.

One part of the seal, either to static or rotary portion, is always resiliently mounted and spring loaded to accommodate any small shaft deflections, shaft movement due to bearing tolerances and out-of-perpendicular alignment due to manufacturing tolerances.

The primary seal is essentially a spring loaded vertical bearing - consisting of two extremely flat faces, one fixed, one rotating, running against each other.  The seal faces are pushed together using a combination of hydraulic force from the sealed fluid and spring force from the seal design. In this way a seal is formed to prevent process leaking between the rotating (shaft) and stationary areas of the pump.

If the seal faces rotated against each other without some form of lubrication they would wear and quickly fail due to face friction and heat generation. For this reason some form of lubrication is required between the rotary and stationary seal face; this is known as the fluid film

In most mechanical seals the faces are kept lubricated by maintaining a thin film of fluid between the seal faces. This film can either come from the process fluid being pumped or from an external source.

The need for a fluid film between the faces presents a design challenge – allowing sufficient lubricant to flow between the seal faces without the seal leaking an unacceptable amount of process fluid, or allowing contaminants in between the faces that could damage the seal itself.

This is achieved by maintaining a precise gap between the faces that is large enough to allow in a small amounts of clean lubricating liquid but small enough to prevent contaminants from entering the gap between the seal faces.

The gap between the faces on a typical  seal is as little as 1 micron – 75 times narrower than a human hair.  Because the gap is so tiny, particles that would otherwise damage the seal faces are unable to enter, and the amount of liquid that leaks through this space is so small that it appears as vapor – around ½ a teaspoon a day on a typical application.

This micro-gap is maintained using springs and hydraulic force to push the seal faces together, while the pressure of the liquid between the faces (the fluid film) acts to push them apart.

Without the pressure pushing them apart the two seal faces would be in full contact, this is known as dry running and would lead to rapid seal failure.

Without the process pressure (and the force of the springs) pushing the faces together the seal faces would separate too far, and allow fluid to leak out.

Mechanical seal engineering focuses on increasing the longevity of the primary seal faces by ensuring a high quality of lubricating fluid, and by selecting appropriate seal face materials for the process being pumped.

When we talk about leakage we are referring to visible leakage of the seal. This is because as detailed above, a very thin fluid film holds the two seal faces apart from each other. By maintaining a micro-gap a leak path is created making it impossible for a mechanical seal to be totally leak free. What we can say, however, is that unlike gland packing, the amount of leakage on a mechanical seal should be so low as to be visually undetectable.
