EagleBurgmann Academy – Open Training Program - scheduled

If working with mechanical seals for pumps and agitators is part of your daily routine, this training course is for you.

Whether you are an engineer, millwright, operator, maintenance technician, supervisor, planner or any other person involved in the use, repair, installation, operation etc. of mechanical seals: This course gives you background knowledge and confidence.

In addition to comprehensive and relevant sealing knowledge, this course also covers application specifics, the appropriate seal supply systems and piping plans, and the professional assembly of mechanical seals. We include theoretical and practical parts on materials for sliding parts, workshops on failure analysis, the inspection and recognition of damage patterns. And we combine all this with detailed information on pump operation and hydraulics. All of this will help you to improve performance and increase the availability of your applications.

The training course Tech­nol­ogy and Ap­pli­ca­tion of Dry Gas Seals is a 2 and half-day training course offered in a class­room-based format in our Academy training rooms in Euras­burg, Germany.

The course conveys foun­da­tional sealing knowl­edge re­gard­ing the EagleBurgmann DGS related products, as well as services and other relevant details around those topics.

Par­tic­i­pants will deepen their knowl­edge of the op­er­at­ing prin­ci­ples of gas-lu­bri­cated seals and gain insights into the specific com­po­nents and con­struc­tional features that dis­tin­guish DGS seals - in­clud­ing ‘liftoff’ and ‘self-reg­u­la­tion’. We also provide an insight into the com­po­nents and design features specif­i­cally employed in DGS seals. This includes a dis­cus­sion of gas groove design – most im­por­tantly V- and U-grooves. The course includes an overview of SMS gas supply systems, allowing at­ten­dees to un­der­stand their struc­ture and func­tions.

Through prac­ti­cal assembly ex­er­cises and guided visits to our pro­duc­tion fa­cil­i­ties and DGS test rigs, par­tic­i­pants will ex­pe­ri­ence the complex struc­ture, precise tol­er­ances, and critical dif­fer­ences of DGS seals compared to other seal types.

The ma­te­ri­als used for DGS seals differ to a certain degree from those found in ‘wet’ seals. The course covers the basics of material se­lec­tion for sliding ma­te­ri­als and ma­te­ri­als used for sec­ondary sealing elements in DGS-seals. Ad­di­tion­ally, we discuss critical op­er­at­ing con­di­tions for DGS seals in common ap­pli­ca­tions to support ef­fec­tive failure pre­ven­tion and analysis. 

The training con­cludes with a knowl­edge check.

Target group

Spe­cial­ists from op­er­a­tions and main­te­nance whose tasks include the in­stal­la­tion, com­mis­sion­ing and main­te­nance of gas seals for pumps, ag­i­ta­tors or com­pres­sors.

Previous Knowl­edge Required

The course assumes a sound knowl­edge of general sealing tech­nol­ogy. Par­tic­i­pants should have pre­vi­ously attended in­tro­duc­tory training to me­chan­i­cal seals and their tech­ni­cal en­vi­ron­ment. Fur­ther­more, the tech­ni­cal vo­cab­u­lary used in the sealing industry is required to follow this training course in English.
