Benefits of Upgrading Steam Turbine with Non-Contact Dry Gas Seal - STG170™

SEALING SOLUTION & HIGHLIGHT

Scenic provides a sealing solution featuring the newest technology of the non-contact dry gas seal STG170™, for the steam turbine in the power and energy industry. By replacing the old multi-segment ring used by customers, less downtime for maintenance and reduced steam leakage are achieved.

  • High reliability- Non-contact dry gas seal (zero abrasion).
  • Utilizes the steam from the turbine as a power source for STG170™, extra gas support system is unnecessary.

Gas seal for steam turbine STG170

WORKING CONDITION

  • Industry/Equipment: Power & Energy/ Steam Turbine
  • Temperature: 240°C
  • Pressure: 13kg/cm²
  • Rotating Speed: 3560RPM
  • Power: 27kW
  • Lubrication: Bearing Oil
  • Sealing Type (Before): Multi-Segment Ring Set
  • Sealing Type (After): Non-Contact Dry Gas Seal STG170™


BEFORE

  • Multi-segment ring was used as the sealing component of the steam turbine.
  • Unable to prevent leakage of high-pressure steam.
  • Extended operation will cause damage to the carbon seal ring and turbine shaft.
  • The damaged turbine shaft enlarges the gap and increases the steam leakage.
  • The oil lubricant is susceptible to contamination from steam leakage, leading to degradation and turbine bearing damage.
  • Massive leakage leads to widespread corrosion of the equipment and energy waste.


AFTER

  • Near zero leakage.
  • Avoid the emulsification of oil lubricant in the turbine bearing caused by thermal shock.
  • Reduce drive power consumption, increase energy efficiency.
  • No damages to the steam turbine shaft.
  • Decrease the probability of bearing damage and lubricating failure due to steam leakage.
  • Cost savings.
  • Long service life.
