How MAN Energy Solutions Improved Their Centrifugal Compressor’s Efficiency, Yielding Six-Figure Savings
Unlock Efficiency Gains with Arlon® 4020 Labyrinth Seals
Discover how MAN Energy Solutions partnered with Greene Tweed to dramatically improve the efficiency of centrifugal compressors—achieving up to 1.5% efficiency gains and $300,000 in lifecycle energy savings per unit.
By replacing traditional metallic seals with Greene Tweed’s Arlon® 4020 PEEK labyrinth seal, the project delivered:
- Tighter running clearances with a custom-engineered flexible tooth design.
- Reduced leakage and higher energy efficiency—validated through lab and field testing.
- Superior corrosion resistance in harsh environments (H₂S, mercury, chlorine).
- Long-term durability, with seals showing no measurable wear after 9 years in operation.
This breakthrough seal solution doesn’t just enhance performance—it lowers maintenance costs, reduces environmental impact, and is fully compatible for retrofit installations.
