The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) to develop and demonstrate a high-temperature dry-gas seal (DGS) for application to supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) power turbines. Project work would be completed in a staged development process relying on detailed analysis and an experimental testing regimen to demonstrate the capability of developed components and, ultimately, the DGS system at its design temperature, pressure, and shaft speed.
