    What is a Seal ?

    Seals are used to form a barrier between two spaces. Generally one of these

    spaces contains process fluid at a pressure other than atmosphere pressure.

    Static Seal:In this type of seal, sealing takes place between the surfaces which do not more relativeto one another.

    Example: Gaskets in pipe flange connections, cylinder covers. etc..

    Dynamic SealIn this type of seal, sealing takes place between the surfaces which have relativemovement.

    What is a Mechanical Seal?

    A mechanical Seal consists of two extremely smooth and flatsurfaces, called faces, held together to prevent fluid fromescaping. In a mechanical seal, one face must rotate with theshaft and is commonly called the Rotary Face and the othermechanical seal face is fixed and is called the Stationary Face.

    Early shaft seals were simple labyrinth seals, which oftentimes required complicatedejector systems to deal with substantial gas leakage through the seals.

    EARLY SEALS

    FLOATING SEALS

    The next" generation of compressor shaft seals was oil film floating ring seals. There are two sealingsurfaces in a typical floating ring oil seal, the inside diameter of the seal rings and the matingsurfaces between the seal rings and the seal housings.

    Oil is injected into the seal at a pressure slightly higher than the process gas (sealing) pressure. Thishigh-pressure oil forms a seal against the process, and also serves to cool the seal components.

  • 8/11/2019 DGS Seal

    8/87ENGRO FERTILIZER LIMITED

    Both labyrinth and oil film floating ring seals are radial seals , sealing the radial spacecreated between a rotating shaft and a stationary seal. This limited the level of sealing thatcould be obtained, because the parts had to operate at a clearance large enough to avoidcontact between the stationary and rotating parts

    FLOATING SEALS

    9/87ENGRO FERTILIZER LIMITED

    Mechanical Seals

    During operation, seal oil is injected into the seal at a pressure slightly higher than theprocess gas. This oil provides a seal against the process gas and is also required to cool theseal components, which are subject to high heat generation caused by the contactingdesign of the seal. During shutdown, the spring-loaded shutdown piston (held open by oilpressure during operation) is held in contact with the contact ring, providing a gas-tightseal.

    Contact seals were end-face seals, meaning the actual sealing surface was locatedbetween seal components Perpendicular to the compressor shaft, as opposed to radial

    seals.

  • 8/11/2019 DGS Seal

    10/87ENGRO FERTILIZER LIMITED

    A portion of the seal oil can be lost into the compressor, causing process

    contamination and oil consumption.

    A portion of the seal oil comes in contact with the process gas. This sour oilmust be treated and reclaimed or disposed of. Disposal of sour ail requirescompliance with local environmental codes.

    The seal oil systems require substantial maintenance and can be unreliable.

    A safety concern exists because of oil flash point issue~, which occur when gas isabsorbed into seal oil.

    There are substantial process gas losses be-cause of seal emissions, which,again, must be handled in accordance with local environmental codes.

    ITS & BUTS

  • 8/11/2019 DGS Seal

    11/87ENGRO FERTILIZER LIMITED

    The most difficult answer about seal to tell its operating life .As per API, a seal average life should be 03 years.

    But experiences tell us that most of seals do not achieve this life. In some cases seals lastmore than 03 years. Because seal life depends upon various variables.

    The only way to tell if you are getting satisfactory seal life is to look at the soft face.If there is still plenty of Carbon you did not get Good Life. If most of the Carbon has worn away you got Good Life.

    Gas enters the groove moving towards the center; because of the volumereduction at the tips,Gas is compressed and pressure increases setting the gap between the rings.

    How Gas Compresses in Grooves

  • 8/11/2019 DGS Seal

    16/87ENGRO FERTILIZER LIMITED

    During operation (rotation), injected sealing gas flows from the outside diameter of the mating ringinto the mating ring's grooves . The shape of the grooves is optimized to enhance seal performance,and the grooves are machined only to the radial midpoint of the mating ring face to a depth of only afew microns. The compression zone of the sealing gas is located at the "tips" of the grooves (nearestto the inside diameter of the mating ring). The pressure dam developed at the grooves causes "liftoff", separation of the primary and mating rings by the desired running gap.

    Gas Compression

    Bidirectional

    Gas flows into symmetrical T-Grooves

    is pumped circumferientially towardthe edge of groove

    Stagnation of flow at the edge builts pressure andresults in hydrodynamic lift-off, even at low peripheralspeed

    Lift-off is most likely used because the first dynamic seal designs were for use in jetengines

    The equations that determine the separation force are the same as those used tocalculate hydro-dynamic forces for a liquid. While the calculations are the same, just withdifferent values for the fluid parameters, it would be a better description to call them

    fluid-dynamic forces . Using hydro was most likely just an over simplification forexplaining the lift effect.

    "lift off", just mean separation of the primary and mating rings by the desired runninggap.

    WHY Questions

    When the compressor is stopped (not rotating), the primary ring is held against themating ring with a series of springs. Because the grooves are not machined across theentire face of the mating ring, the two rings are in tight contact over the dam area andthe running gap (and therefore seal leakage) is eliminated.

    ENGRO FERTILIZER LIMITED

    If the running gap between the primary and mating seal rings increases during

    operation because of axial rotor movement, the pressure at the mating ring groovetips will be reduced as the volume increases. The gas forces acting on each-side ofthe primary and mating seal rings will force the rings toward each other, therebyrestoring the running gap to the desired value.

    Conversely, if the clearance between the seal rings decreases because of axial rotor

    movement, the pressure at the mating ring groove tips will increase as the volumedecreases, overcoming the gas forces acting on the outside of the mating rings,hence increasing the running gap to the desired value.

    IDEAL PROPERTIES REQUIRED DURING AXIAL MOVEMENT

    When there is axial movement of the compressor rotor, the gas film between the matingand primary seal rings must have sufficient stiffness to ensure that the rings do not come incontact with each other, which can lead to catastrophic seal damage. A narrow running gappresents increased risk of accidental contact between the primary and mating ring faces.Therefore, a narrow running gap and the highest possible gas film stiffi1ess represent theoptimum combination

    Gas stiffness

    Pressure ProfileA uniform pressure distribution between the primary and mating ring faces is alsoimportant, because it will reduce the local deformation (and therefore potential for theseal rings to make contact) of the parts.

    Balance of ForcesThe hydrostatic and hydrodynamic forces acting on the seal control the position of theprimary ring. Hydrostatic forces are present whenever the seal is pressurized.Hydrodynamic forces are present only during rotation of the mating ring.

    BALANCING FORCES/ Opening

    The opening force is much more difficult to calculate. The opening force is a complex

    function of several parameters , which are not all independent of each other.

    The opening force is a function of

    1. Rotational speed2. Gas pressures and

    3. Temperatures4. Groove geometry5. The running gap

    Therefore, the opening' force must be calculated by computer code . The computer codetypically calculates pressure, speeds, and temperature distributions at every point withinthe seal ring interface.1. The program will iterate until the optimum running gap-where the opening forces

    exactly balance the dosing forces-is attained .2. Different groove geometry can be analyzed and optimized to provide optimum gas

    seal performance.

    Dry Gas seal Leakage

    Dry gas seal are not zero leakages seals , a small amount of gas is required to pass throughthe seal to cool the rings, avoiding damages due to overheating.

    1. When the compressor is stopped (not rotating), the primary ring is held againstthe mating ring with a series of springs.

    2. Because the grooves are not machined across the entire face of the mating ring,the two rings are in tight contact over the dam area and the running gap (and

    therefore seal leakage) is eliminated. The gas seal leakage is directly proportional to the cube of the

    running gap . Gas sealing leakage is also directly proportional to sealing pressure

    and the physical size (diameter) of the gas seal.

    3. Therefore Static Balancing Force is most important. Thus Seal diameter.

    Tandem With Intermediate Seal

    when no seal gas leakage can be tolerated in the secondary vent.

    To accomplish this, the intermediate labyrinth seal is typically buffered with an inert gasinjected into the port at a pressure slightly higher than the primary vent pressure. Thisassures a positive flow of intermediate seal across the intermediate labyrinth toward theprimary vent. Thus, the flow through the primary vent (flare) is a combination of primarygas seal leakage and intermediate seal gas leakage across the intermediate labyrinth.

    1. The total seal gas consumption is very low2. Seal gas leakage to the outboard vent is also very low, contains no process gas (zeroprocess gas emissions), and can be vented locally .

    3. Plant nitrogen is typically very dean and dry, and, when used as sealing gas, greatlyreduces the potential for gas seal contamination (a major concern when sealing withfiltered process gas), thus increasing gas seal reliability.

    4. There is no primary vent system, which simplifies the gas seal support system.

    1. They are limited in their application by temperature. The extremely low flow of seal gasthrough the double opposed gas seal provides very limited cooling

    2. The double opposed gas seal is not a viable option at high sealing pressures. Theoperating pressure limits of double opposed gas seals can vary depending on the sealmanufacturer and the specific application.

    3. A very small amount of the inert sealing gas will leak into the compressor. Dependingon the application and the inert sealing gas employed, this could upset the process .

    A second concern is the quality (cleanliness) of the seal gas. Gas seal manufacturers havestringent requirements for seal gas quality, typically requiring the seal gas to be dry and filteredof particles 3 Micro-meter (absolute) and larger.

    The potential for liquid condensation within the gas seal system must be-thoroughly reviewed.

    Heavy hydrocarbons & water vapor contained in the sealing gas have a tendency to condense asthe gas flows through the gas seal system. The various components of the gas seal system-filters,valves, and orifices-cause seal gas pressure drops during operation. A seal gas heater can beprovided as part of the gas seal system

    The separation gas is required for the barrier seals, which are intended to prohibit lube oil migration intothe gas seal. The separation gas is usually provided to the barrier seals through stainless steel tubing. Like the

    primary seal gas, the separation gas must be available at sufficient pressure, as defined by the barrier sealmanufacturer, with enough safety margin to account for buildup of pressure drop through the gas seal systemcomponents. It is very common to use plant instrument air as the separation gas medium. It is highly

    preferable to use nitrogen source for separation gas.

    Compared to the main seal gas supply, the quality and composition of the separation gas is of lesserconcern. The manufacturer's gas quality requirements for barrier seals are less stringent than for dry gas seals.The-typical sources of separation gas (nitrogen or instrument air). are generally very clean in comparison toseal gas sources.

    Control Systems of DGS

  • 8/11/2019 DGS Seal

    55/87

    ENGRO FERTILIZER LIMITED

    The primary objective of the seal gas control system is to assure that sealing gas is injected

    between the inner labyrinth seal and the gas seal at a rate sufficient to prevent reverse now ofunfiltered process gas across the inner labyrinth seal and into the gas seal.

    1. A rate of 16 ft/s is an industry accepted standard for sealing with labyrinth seals based onmany years of experience with providing buffer gas to seals. This is considered the

    minimum acceptable seal gas velocity for gas seal applications.2. Therefore, to assure a positive flow of seal gas across the inner labyrinth seal, gas seal

    systems should be designed to provide a minimum gas velocity of16 ft/s across the innerlabyrinth seal at all times.

    3. The seal gas velocity across the inner labyrinth seal will vary with labyrinth clearance . Tomaintain the minimum 16 ft/sec velocity across the inner labyrinth seal at increasedlabyrinth clearance, the system should be designed to provide twice the seal gas velocity(32 ft/s) at the inner labyrinth clearance.

    a) Review the operating trends of key gas seal performance indicators (e.g., seal gas andseparation gas supply flow or differential pressure and primary gas seal leakage).

    b) Inspect the low point drains located in the primary and secondary gas seal vents andfilter housings for accumulated liquids. Remove any liquids that are present.

    c) Inspect the differential pressure of the operating seal gas filter. If the differentialpressure exceeds that of a clean filter element by given psi, or if the differentialpressure alarm is activated, switch operation to the clean filter element followingmanufacturer's instructions.
