    摘要: A mating ring for use in a dry gas seal and a dry gas seal. The mating ring includes a face that defines an inner diameter and an outer diameter. The face includes: a channel formed therein disposed between the inner diameter and the outer diameter; one or more inlet channels formed in the face that extend from the inner diameter to the channel; and one or more spiral grooves in fluid communication with the channel that extend from the channel toward the inner diameter. Alternatively, the one or more inlet channels can extend from the outer diameter to the channel and one or more spiral grooves can extend from the channel toward the outer diameter

    摘要: A gas processing system includes a vessel defining a cavity for processing a gas. The vessel includes a process gas inlet for accepting process gas at an input pressure, and a process gas outlet for discharging process gas at an output pressure. The gas processing system further includes a shaft coupled to the vessel and a multistage sealing system comprising multiple seals spaced along the shaft. The shaft is configured to transfer mechanical energy to or from gas in the vessel. Each adjacent pair of seals defines a corresponding pressure space therebetween. One of the pressure spaces is an equalizing pressure space in hydraulic communication with the process gas inlet via a flow line, such that in operation, pressure in the equalizing pressure space is maintained at an equalized pressure with respect to a pressure in the process gas inlet.

    摘要: To provide sliding components capable of suppressing dynamic pressure generation mechanisms from being deformed and damaged due to wear of sliding surfaces. In a pair of sliding components which is disposed at a relatively rotating position of a rotary machine, has a plurality of dynamic pressure generation mechanisms formed in a sliding surface of the sliding component by recessed portions, and is formed in an annular shape to seal a sealed fluid by sliding the sliding surfaces of the sliding components. A surface region in the periphery of the recessed portions of the sliding component is formed to be separated from an opposite region of the sliding component.

    摘要: A rotary union includes a non-rotating component forming a bore, and a non-rotating seal carrier slidably disposed in the bore. A pressure sleeve is slidably disposed in the bore between the non-rotating component and the non-rotating seal carrier. A non-rotating seal member is disposed on the non-rotating seal carrier, and a rotating seal carrier has a rotating seal member disposed thereon. Wherein the rotating seal member is disposed in opposed relation to the non-rotating seal member such that a sliding mechanical face seal is formed between the non-rotating and rotating seal members when the non-rotating seal carrier slides towards the rotating seal carrier in the presence of fluid pressure.
