Process steam turbines rely on effective sealing to operate reliably and efficiently, but conventional carbon seals often fall short. These seals are inherently brittle and prone to rapid wear, making them a short-term solution at best. Over time, they contribute to increased steam leakage, reduced efficiency, and the need for frequent, costly replacements. The resulting downtime and maintenance demands can significantly impact operations.

The Sentinel® Floating Brush Seal (FBS) offers a robust and long-lasting upgrade. Designed as a drop-in replacement for carbon rings, the Sentinel FBS adds an extra layer of protection that helps slow the natural erosion of downstream components. Its split design ensures hassle-free installation, with no need to modify turbine casings or remove rotors, saving both time and money.

By minimizing steam loss and extending maintenance intervals, the Sentinel FBS improves overall turbine reliability and performance. It’s an ideal solution for industrial operators looking to reduce maintenance burdens, optimize output, and ensure consistent operation over the long term.
