Video Highlights Latest in Steam Turbine Floating Brush Seal Technology

Listen to this article

Inpro/Seal, a global leader in the design and manufacture of custom engineered sealing and shaft grounding solutions, is pleased to announce the release of a new product video. The Sentinel® Floating Brush Seal (FBS) product video illustrates how the Sentinel FBS enhances process steam turbine performance.

Carbon rings are commonly used to seal against steam leakage in process steam turbines. Yet, they are weak, brittle and deteriorate quickly, rendering them ineffective in a short period of time. The Sentinel FBS provides an effective sealing solution, increasing uptime and decreasing maintenance costs. Designed as a drop-in replacement for standard carbon rings, the Sentinel FBS uses a metallic brush that serves as the primary seal while a carbon element provides face sealing.

This innovative technology increases maintenance intervals to three times longer than those of carbon rings while providing a stable leakage reduction.
