    The document discusses dry gas seals, which are non-contacting mechanical seals that use hydrodynamic forces to maintain a precise gap. It describes the components, construction, and working of dry gas seals, including their tandem arrangement, spiral grooved sealing surfaces, and pressure profile. It also covers control systems, common problems like contamination, and advantages like reduced space and maintenance needs.

    Introduction

    Dry gas seal is a non-contacting type mechanical seal


    which works on the principles of hydrodynamic
    forces to create and maintain precisely defined gap
    during operation.
