Dynamic Seal

The Dynamic Seal, also known as Purge Reducer or Velocity Type Seal, is used to direct the air from the inside wall of the flare stack to the center of the flare tip.

As wind passes over the top of a flare tip, the tip is prone to catch some air, which in turn, follows down the low pressure zone against the inside wall of the flare tip. Without a Dynamic Seal installed, a substantially higher purge gas rate is required. There is no method of control to ensure that a combustible air/fuel mixture does not build below the Stainless Steel Flare Tip. If an air/fuel mixture were to form below, the Flare Tip has the potential to cause an explosion or internal combustion, causing damage to the Flare System. With a Dynamic Seal installed the purge gas rate is kept to a minimum.

The Dynamic Seal also creates a higher pressure zone by increasing the gas velocity, which also slightly increases the gas density helping to create a pressure envelope that the air will not pass through, all while reducing the purge gas down to a minimum.

To summarize, the Dynamic Seal is a safety feature that will ensure maximum efficiency and life expectancy of the Flare System, as well as help you to save on costly purge gas and reduce carbon emissions.
