Sealing Solutions for Cryogenic Applications: Why Spring-Energized Seals Excel in Extreme Cold
Sealing in cryogenic environments presents a unique challenge. Traditional seals often fail when exposed to extremely low temperatures, leading to leakage, equipment failure, and safety risks. Spring-energized seals, however, have emerged as the gold standard for maintaining reliable performance in LNG (liquefied natural gas) processing, aerospace, medical, and industrial gas applications. But why do spring-energized seals outperform other sealing technologies in cryogenic conditions? Let’s explore.
