Spool Seal Design and Testing for the Spool Compressor [PDF]
, 2012 Several seals, designed to minimize leakage between the rotating spool assembly’s endplates and the stationary compressor housing, are introduced, constructed and tested. Some designs are deemed impractical due to either high leakage or high torque.
