Flowserve Corporation, a provider of flow control products and services for the global infrastructure markets, signed a licence agreement with New Way Air Bearings to develop externally pressurized solutions for its seal and pump operations.
By adapting New Way’s technology through Flowserve’s application experience in fluid motion control, a new generation of rotating equipment becomes possible. With fewer parts, better internal sealing and improved load-handling capabilities, this evolution of fluid pumping and sealing solutions promises a significant step forward for the end user in terms of improved reliability and process uptime, waste reduction and lower maintenance costs and energy consumption.
Flowserve’s next generation of fluid motion control equipment will be able to tolerate heat much better than traditional designs, which means they can be applied in a very wide range of applications. Target implementations range from retrofit packages to holistic new solutions.
