Introduction of Book 

Advertisement

This book is a culmination of my personal efforts to better understand gas seal technology and its practical application in process gas centrifugal compressors. It is intended to be a practical guide, such that engineers and operators can make informed decisions regarding the application, operation, and maintenance of dry gas seals. This book attempts to present a complete guide to the technology, from the principle of gas seal operation to lessons learned from actual field experience.
