DF-(P)DGS6
Features
- Dry gas seal for multiphase pump applications
- DiamondFace sliding surface technology
- Ideal for applications with Ethane, CO2, and similar media with low vapor margins
- Shrouded rotating ring
- Bi-directional
- Ready-to-fit cartridge unit
- Single, double, tandem, and tandem with intermediate labyrinth available
Advantages
- DiamondFace sliding surface technology for maximum operational performance under multiphase process conditions (liquid, vapor, supercritical)
- Ideal upgrade solution for wet mechanical seals with dry running issues
- Simple set-up: seal gas heating and nitrogen buffer are not required
- Stiff sealing gap creates necessary heat and doesn´t require additional heating
- Significantly lower leakage rate avoids icing problems with CO2 (Joule Thomson effect) and keeps emission rate low
- High film stiffness in all operating modes
- Proven reliable and economical solution
- Adjustable to extreme narrow installation space - retrofits are easy to implement

Notes
Dimensions on request.
Sealing CO2 reliably with conventional mechanical seals is challenging due to the difficulty of maintaining the fluid in a phase appropriate for the seal type. With CO2, the phases range from liquid, supercritical to vapor, depending on the process parameters.
EagleBurgmann has performed extensive analysis, calculations, and testing, and developed with the DF-PDGS6 an effective and efficient sealing solution.
In our white paper "Advanced turbomachinery dry gas seal design solution for multiphase CO2 pump applications", we take a closer look at the special characteristics of CO2 and why they effect the safety and reliability of a seal.
