Vortex Shedder® Seals

The Vortex Shedder® is the second component of Turbo Parts' advanced sealing system for steam turbine owners seeking to improve turbine performance and maintain unit heat rate between overhauls.

 

Vortex Shedder® tip seals can be installed in any location where conventional seals are currently located. Each seal contains a unique engineered shape which reduces steam leakage over the rotating blade tip by creating a vortices that results in a pressure barrier and a lower pressure drop.

The advantages of Turbo Parts' patented Vortex Shedder® seals include:

  • A lower pressure drop across the seal
  • Increased unit output
  • Custom installation by Turbo Parts technicians
  • Lower operating costs for your turbine
