Heat dissipation from piston-rod sealing systems
This brochure published by Burckhardt Compression gives an overview of common concepts of cooling piston-rod sealing systems and describes their advantages and disadvantages.
The different conditions governing heat removal from friction surfaces compared with cylinder cooling make it possible to ascertain the performance limits of such cooling systems. These findings, especially as regards suspectibility of systems currently in use, have led to a new configuration of the cooling channels. The performance of the resultant robust, reliable and easily maintainable cooling system for piston-rod seals is to be compared with that of common designs.
