Does The Additive Improve Mechanical Seal Life?
Yes. Semi-hermetic units require mechanical shaft seals to retain the valuable refrigerant charge, and to keep out air and moisture. Mechanical seals utilize two ultra-precision machined and polished surfaces to generate a zero leakage shaft seal. The mechanical seal is, by far, the most precisely manufactured and most delicate component in the compressor. The seal’s highly polished surfaces can easily be damaged by dry starts, corrosion, or rough bearings. Since these problems are avoided or at least minimize in units treated with FRIGI-TECH, the mechanical seal life is improved.
