New Shaft Seal
Howden Compressors launches a further improvement to the design and construction of its established cushion mount mechanical shaft seals for Howden screw compressors.
This improved design of shaft seal has been successfully field tested since May 2010, with over two hundred seals now installed with no premature failures experienced.
The new shaft seal is an amalgamation of new materials and design characteristics being applied to our existing seal arrangements and is totally interchangeable with previously installed seals.
The improved features of the new shaft seal provide the following benefits:
- Harder more durable materials
- Reduction in generated heat
- Higher resistance to low temperature start-ups and to poor lubrication
Since November 2011 we have been supplying the new Howden "KS" type shaft seal as our standard shaft seal for all compressors and spares shipments.
