From oil refineries to petrochemical plants, many mission-critical operations require refrigeration for temperature-specific processes. As crucial as refrigeration compressing is to these applications, it is essential that every compressor seal and coupling maintains optimal performance and reliability. With Flowway products, customers can not only achieve maximum efficiency in low-temperature applications; they can also reduce energy consumption and meet strict environmental standards for hazardous materials such as industrial refrigerants.
Furthermore, the applications require sealing systems that guarantee safety, preventing the leakage of corrosive or flammable products that could escape the atmosphere.
Specialized Products for Refrigeration Compression
Flowway compressor seals and metal bellows seals, among others, are designed to meet the demands of today’s refrigerants and prevent leakage in accordance with stringent industry standards. We have a wide range of products specific to the refrigeration industry, including:
O-Ring Pusher Seals
Type FW-EK-2000 Mechanical Seal: Rugged and available in a wide variety of elastomers for handling a wide range of industrial refrigeration media
Type FW-21: Multi-purpose, non-pusher elastomer bellows seal available in single, double and balanced arrangements
Metal Bellow Seals
Type MB-C65-609 : Designed for high and low-temperature liquid and gas sealing applications to and heat transfer-specific; ideal for refrigeration compressor with limited seal chamber clearance
Seal Support System
Reservoir FW-TS1 : General duty reservoir that can withstand pressure up to 16 bar while providing buffer/barrier fluid to a dual-seal arrangement
Reservoir FW-TS2 : General duty reservoir that can withstand pressure up to 26 bar while providing buffer/barrier fluid to a dual-seal arrangement
Cyclone Separators: Typically used in an API Plan 31 arrangement and incorporated in the seal flush line (API Plan 11 ) from the discharge of the pump
