AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing sealing arrangements for control valves fail to ensure complete tightness, particularly with high pressures and low-viscosity fluids such as helium or hydrogen.

Method used

A sealing device with a sleeve body featuring offset inner and outer contact surfaces and hollow sealing rings with grooves, enhanced by metallic spring rings and spacer rings, ensures a robust seal by applying pressure in the direction of the prevailing medium flow.

Benefits of technology

The design achieves a gas-tight seal for low-viscosity gases and high pressures, reducing leakage and maintaining seal integrity under varying conditions.
