Increased Efficiency, Less Maintenance

Conventional bell seals can rob efficiency and cause serious maintenance issues. TurboCare Articulated Bell Seals® use super-alloys and thermal design (like our breakthrough High-Efficiency Snout Rings) to solve the problems increasing efficiency and virtually eliminating maintenance headaches.

Bell seals are designed to provide freedom of movement between turbine components in order to accommodate thermal expansion during start-up and operation. But during normal operation, oxide typically builds up on conventional bell seals, and they may seize, damaging the inlet pipe and increasing steam leakage. Disassembly of a seized bell seal can worsen the damage and even require costly weld repairs. TurboCare Articulated Bell Seals® solve the problem.
