Compressor Dry Gas Seal
Compressor Dry Gas Seal
(OP)
Hello,
I'm trying to determine the consequences to the DGS system in the event of a compressor blowdown.
If using the compressor gas a source for DGS, is the seal is lost? Further, the potential for low blowdown temperatures may give rise to liquid formation and possible damage to the DGS system.
Since compressor blowdown is not an uncommon pactice, am I missing something here.

RE: Compressor Dry Gas Seal
1 check your panel design
2 check your filter element size
3 if you do not have boosters then you may use N2 bottles
If you are experiencing seal failures due to liquids get a gas composition and ask your seal vendor to do an analysis and review your panel design. Process conditions may have changed.
trust this helps!
