- Advanced cartridge-mounted transmission system: With drop-proof springs, the seal can readily be installed or replaced (applicable only to the LD388BTM series, which is compatible with big and taper bore pumps)
- High duty transmission mechanism: The transmission components can tolerate large shaft runout (radial movement) and vibration that occur predominantly during startup and shutdown.
- Non-clogging stationary springs: Providing an evenly distributed load on the sealing faces, our enhanced springs are mounted in the stationary section of the seal and completely isolated from the process medium during operation, therefore free from stress corrosion and damage caused by a crystallizing or clogging medium with solid particles, such as dirt and debris.
- Robust pressure-transmission compression rings: The proven cartridge design features rugged compact construction and long sealing face life, resulting in less downtime and extended MTBF(Mean Time Between Failures).
- High efficiency induced heat pumping: With the assistance of the rotating pumping ring, which is located directly under the venting outlet hole in the gland ring, in circulating the cooling fluid, this design provides the best possible cooling fluid supply to carry away seal-generated heat and thus the best cooling effect at the sealing faces.
- Self-aligning: Allows for shaft runout up to ±0.8 mm, increasing operational reliability.
- Solid one-piece sealing rings: Produced with high quality and accuracy, the API 682 compliant sealing rings are resistant to wear and deformation, ensuring high integrity sealing performance.
- Anti-collision washers: An added safety feature to avoid metal-to-metal collision sparks by using an impact absorbing washer eliminates the possibility of on-site catastrophic fire, promoting high safety in operation.
- Micro-polished outer surfaces of the sealing rings for anti-stick mounting: The seal outer surfaces on which the O-rings are mounted have been fine finished so that the O-rings can slide axially along the rotating shaft, avoiding hang-up problems with the dynamic O-rings.
- The LD389TM series is designed to have a shorter seal chamber than that of the LD388TM series so that it can share spares with the CarLife family seals.
