EAGLE Mechanical Seals

NF992

CARTRIDGE MOUNTED DOUBLE GAS SEAL

The NF992 is a pump seal development of the highly
successful, and technically advanced, NF900 dry gas seal
installed in many hundreds of turbo compressor and blower
applications.
Process and chemical pumps in hazardous application
conventionally use liquid lubricated, double or tandem seal
arrangements to prevent liquid leakage or hazardous
emissions. These seal configurations are subject to rapid
failure and leakage to atmosphere when liquid pressure, or
circulation, is lost. Contamination of the sealant liquid over
time is also a frequent problem.
The NF992 is a complete answer to these failure modes
and in addition only requires a relatively simple buffer gas
injection system instead of large and complex liquid
circulation systems.

Specific Features of NF992

Zero leakage to atmosphere, ideal for hazardous media.
Non-contacting design reduces power consumption to a
small fraction of that used by liquid seals.
The internal, or product side, seal contains the media at
the seal outside diameter. No centrifugal effects to drive
contaminants across the seal faces.
Separate labyrinth over inner rotating seat to minimise
contaminants in seal face area.
Product side seal equipped with SiC faces and seats for
durability and to resist abrasive particles in the seal area.
Minimal usage of buffer gas.
Double balanced. In the event of losing buffer gas
pressure the internal seal will not open but function as a
conventional liquid lubricated seal until corrective action is
taken to restore buffer gas pressure.
Bi-directional. Eliminates possibility of mis-fitting and will
operate normally in either direction.
