Description
The Carrier 5H40-276 Shaft Seal is a part of HVAC equipment that uses R22 or R12 refrigerants in its functioning. It helps to eliminate refrigerant leakage since it forms a barrier around a rotating shaft, which is common in the compressor. The seal is made of metal and is built to last in the high stress environment of an HVAC system. In that way, this shaft seal minimizes unnecessary loss that can lead to damaged efficiency of the HVAC system. When a refrigerant leaks, the cooling capabilities may reduce, energy utilization increases, and the compressor may be harmed. A shaft seal enables a system to work efficiently and the refrigerant to flow as required.
