4400
- Double Concentric Gas Seal
The 4400 is a true double, non-contacting gas seal designed specifically for pumps, mixers, and agitators. With autonomous gas control and no wear due to face contact, the 4400 is a set-it-and- forget-it solution to "bad actor" seals in any industry/application. Its compact design allows for installation in most equipment without the need for modification, thus making it ideal for upgrading underperforming sealing solutions.
The 4400 has a unique design that enables the seal to operate as a non-contacting gas seal when barrier gas is present, operate as a contacting low-emission liquid back up seal when barrier gas is lost, and then recover and return to a non-contacting gas seal when barrier gas is restored. The in-gland control system further enhances operation by automatically regulating barrier gas pressure, thus eliminating the need for and expense of, an external gas control panel.
