Ammonia Packing
Ammonia packing is also known as cotton duck packing.It is a special purpose gland packing which comprises of canvas cloth sandwiched between high temperature rubber strips.This type of gland packing find its application specifically in ice making factories.The sizes avilable in this type of packing are 3mm to 8mm.
- Specially formulated to resist ammonia (NH3) attack
- Stays elastic across refrigeration temperature swings, -40°C to 200°C
- Purpose-built for ammonia compressor and valve shaft sealing
- Holds a tight seal under continuous cold-plant cycling
- Supplied as a continuous coil, cut to gland size
Overview
Ammonia Packing is a specially formulated gland packing for sealing the shafts of ammonia compressors and refrigeration equipment. It resists ammonia attack and stays elastic across refrigeration temperature swings.
It is designed for service from around -40°C up to about 200°C, holding a tight, reliable seal on reciprocating and rotary ammonia compressors.
