Magnetic coupling seals heat transfer pump

At the synthetic fiber production facility at Teijin Aramid, the Netherlands, a heat transfer pump is sealed with a high-efficiency NMB-22P-6R-65-00 magnetic coupling. The heat transfer oil can reach temperatures of up to 315 °C (599 °F). The patented low eddy current gap trap keeps the power losses – and heat generation – down despite the high drive power of 45 kW.

Shaft seal for coolant compressor

Sealing a coolant compressor at the Yeochun NCC Company in Korea with a PDGS10 – a gas-lubricated multiple mechanical seal in tandem arrangement. The medium to be sealed is ethylene. Heat tracing at temperatures down to -100 °C (-148 °F) is unnecessary due to the application of a special dynamic secondary sealing element.
