Hello, has anyone encountered issues with VL28 Gas seals specifically in Ethane applications? I would appreciate any input. Best regards, Manfred.
I have extensive experience with mechanical seals from various OEMs and for different applications. Can you please provide more information about your specific requirements, such as the type of pump being used and if there is a hollow shaft vertical motor involved? You can also find more details on this subject at https://www.johncrane.com/-/me...l-4pg-bw-oct2015.pdf. Thank you. Manfred
Hi Manfred, yes, I've had some experience with the VL28 Gas seals in ethane applications. One issue I ran into was increased friction due to ethane's low lubricity, which resulted in higher operating temperatures and potential premature wear. Ensuring a clean, dry, and cool operating environment can mitigate some of these effects. It's also worth investing in materials specifically designed for low-lubricity gases like ethane. Hope that helps!
