Type 28AT Tandem Seal
Example: 100 mm seal; 20 bar g; 10,000 rpm
Q Typical leakage over inboard seal
³ 20 nlitres/minute
Q Typical leakage over outboard seal
³ 2.5 nlitres/minute
Q Outboard seal
³ contains primary leakage
³ acts as back-up - controlled shutdown
Size, Pressure and Speed affect leakage rates

Type 28AT Tandem Seal
Q Outboard seal
³ Little pressure differential across O/B seal
³ “Custom fitting” of balance diameter o-ring
is essential
³ Must seal to enable inboard seal
monitoring
³ Must not hang-up to enable inboard seal
monitoring
