Critical seals in every technology platform
An area of increasing innovation, the long-term efficiency of sustainable energy installations rely on robust seal solutions. In solar concentrators (CSP) the heliostat actuators require an environmental seal (wiper) where contamination exclusion is balanced against drag/seal friction. In photovoltaics (PV) power inverter units need long lived low closure force enclosure seals and vent seals optimized to long term ozone resistance and low compression set. Horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT): gearbox and rotor shaft seals; gearless/direct drive variants, and; low closure/absolute moisture barrier access panel seals. Biomass: turbine shaft seals. Hydrogen generation and Fuel Cells: complex manifold and flow channel seals, membranes and diaphragms optimized for electrolysis, KOH potassium hydroxide, closed system long-life low-compression set and low permeation.
