Chamber seat W-seat The longer lifetime on the seat area is achieved
with the new geometry of the W-seat, which
retains the temperature reducing features of the
chamber seat and combines them with the
benefit of the two narrow concentric contact
areas.
The effect is that all carbon particles which are
trapped between the spindle and bottom piece
are crushed and squeezed out and therefore
eliminated without giving rise to any appreciable
risk dents.
The spindle and seat are fit for further use

provided that :
• There is contact along the entire inner
circumference of the seat.
• There are no blow-by tracks across the inner 16,000 h between overhauls
part of the seats.

Formation of dent marks is an

inevitable consequence of service HVOF-coating
on
heavy fuel oil.
Dent marks may appear harmful, but

will in general have no influence on Vane wheel for gas

If indications of blow-by are found,

then the seat must be ground.
