If you are in the market for turbine seal rings, you know that time is of the essence. When you deal with OEM parts suppliers you often must wait days to source the part, and then you may be looking at several more days to weeks for delivery. Every day that you wait can mean huge losses in production and profit overall. This is where custom Turbine Rings can serve you and your business productivity well.
Quality Replacement Parts: ROC Carbon Turbine Seal Rings
Quality Replacement Parts: ROC Carbon Turbine Seal RingsWhen you can’t wait for long lead times on OEM rings, ROC Carbon can provide you with the seal rings that you need quickly so you can get back to work.
The carbon turbine packing rings manufactured by ROC Carbon Company are used by petroleum, petrochemical, and power industries worldwide. The carbon ring functions as a pressure breaker in steam turbines used to power pumps and compressors, moving fluids through a piping system or to power generators to make electricity.
The turbine is connected through a shaft to a pump or generator. As steam enters the inlet end of the turbine, it passes through a series of multi-bladed vanes on a centrally rotating spindle. As the steam pressure pushes against and passes by the vanes and exists the turbine, it forces the shaft to rotate. The rotating shaft, in turn, drives the connected equipment.
The carbon rings are normally used in groups of two or more and are situated toward the end of the turbine housing. They are manufactured to allow a specific amount of clearance over the diameter of the shaft. The amount of clearance is dependent on the temperature and pressure of the steam passing through the turbine. Each ring in the series functions as a pressure breaker ring and a seal ring.
As the steam tries to push its way down the shaft, it forces the face of the carbon ring against the housing wall, creating a seal. The small amount of clearance between the carbon ring I.D. and the shaft allows a portion of the steam pressure down as it nears the end of the housing. As the steam reaches the final ring in the series, the pressure has been broken down sufficiently to make that ring the primary seal between the turbines’ inner working and the atmosphere outside.
