Concerns about housing affordability in Australian capital cities have captured the public and political imagination. How, then, do ordinary citizens discuss the causes of and solutions to the increasing unaffordability of housing? This article examines evidence that branded Facebook channels provide a space for citizens to engage in everyday engagement and interaction on housing issues. We argue that studying branded, public Facebook pages, despite data access limitations, is an important way of tapping into broad citizen sentiment and understanding media influence on topical issues. We also find that different ways of framing housing affordability within news reporting are associated with different patterns of citizen engagement and interaction on Facebook. In particular, generational frames (critically linking housing affordability to either older people’s entrenched economic advantage or young people’s inability to save) are associated with high levels of user engagement, but the lowest level of discussion about policy solutions within dominant comment threads.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to determine the significance of branding management by property developers in the Malaysian housing market and to examine the pivotal brand identity traits of property developers. Design/methodology/approach An explanatory sequential mixed-methods research approach was adopted. The quantitative data from the questionnaire survey were subjected to descriptive statistics, and the ranking with category of significance of the hypothesised branding traits was determined using relative importance index technique. The findings were further validated through semi-structured interviews with five experienced industry practitioners. Findings Results showed that the extremely significant (ES) branding identities are value for future investment and location, while the very significant (VS) traits are quality assurance, near to supporting infrastructure, reliability, professionalism, experience, warranties and technical ability. Industry experts affirmed the prospect of exploiting branding in enticing property buyers. Research limitations/implications It is reasonable to infer that good branding positively stimulates buyer’s decision-making on purchasing residential property. This study attempts to discover the critical brand identity traits for property developers apt in the context of Malaysian housing market. Practical implications Apart from the archetypal locational and financial factors, the findings suggested that top developers should emphasise innovative family-oriented design with an acceptable level of quality score for brand differentiation to further enhance the future value of their end products. Originality/value The efficacy of brand management in the housing market has not yet been fully explored in research. This paper is expected to offer more profound insights into the strategic brand management towards “branded” property developers in the context of Malaysia and perhaps other countries with comparable backgrounds.

Urban authorities and a range of private and civil society actors have come to view housing as a key arena in which to address climate change whilst also pursuing wider social, economic and environmental objectives. Housing has been a critical area for urban studies, but often considered in sectoral terms and work on urban responses to climate change has followed this positioning. By contrast, an Urban Political Ecology (UPE) perspective would position housing in more integrated terms as part of the metabolism of the city. Yet so far there has been relatively little written in UPE about either housing or climate change. This paper therefore seeks to bring UPE into dialogue with the emergent literature focused on governing climate change through housing. It does so through a detailed study of the ‘Retrofit Philly “Coolest Block” Contest’. We argue that this contest highlights the ways climate change is changing the way housing is embedded in the circulations of the city, pointing to changes in who is governing housing, how housing is being governed and who is able to access the benefits of (climate change-branded) action on housing.

A company’s brand can be considered its most valuable asset. The known impact of branding has inspired a number of Korean construction companies to initiate a new marketing strategy, apartment branding, in the competitive market since the 1990s. As a result, the market-leading brands had stronger sales performances over non-branded apartments in the same residential district. However, major companies with well-known apartment brands still face challenges in managing brand equity constructs, particularly brand loyalty, due to the distinctive characteristics of constructed products (i.e., durability and costliness). To address this issue, this research develops qualitative system dynamics models to analyze the core mechanisms and problems of apartment brand equity building process and proposes long-term managerial strategies to overcome the problem of obtaining apartment brand loyalty. The research outcome is expected to support the strategic decision-making processes of apartment brand managers and to provide implications for further branding applications in other metropolitan areas anticipating a sharp increase in apartments.

Globally, cities have been experiencing neoliberal urbanization processes since the 1970s, while also contributing to the production of the neoliberal condition per se. The neoliberal state plays a core role in such processes, which have deepened the commodification of urban space via various mechanisms such as the privatization of public land and key urban infrastructure. This article critically investigates the direct involvement of the neoliberal state in the commodification of urban space by focusing on its triple role as a restructuring mechanism, a land developer and a volume housing developer in Turkey. The research develops and applies a theoretical framework based on Lefebvre’s production of space and Gramsci’s theory of hegemony. The paper examines the development of branded housing projects, which are private neighbourhoods, by analysing national legislative and organizational changes leading to the production of this type of development and illustrates this using four example projects in Istanbul. The paper contributes to the international evidence of the variegated characteristics of the neoliberal state in relation to urban development, and the neoliberal state’s role in the accumulation of capital in contemporary capitalism.

In recent years there have been significant discussions and arguments raised relating to the position and behaviour of those who live in Britain's poorest neighbourhoods, however there has been little in the way of solutions put forward by any of the political Party's. August 2011 was a flashpoint in the history of these debates, the civil unrest which took place during that month has led to further and continuous on-going social and political debates relating to welfare, unemployment and a sense of disenfranchisement within specific neighbourhoods in the UK. This paper focuses upon a community in Nottingham, St Ann's, a council estate housing 15,000 people, who rely upon social housing and public services to as they say to ‘keep their heads above water’. The families who rely upon public services, welfare benefits and social housing are the poorest and most disadvantaged people in Britain, and since 2010 are being subject to harsh cuts in their welfare benefits. They are also the most vulnerable to unemployment caused by shrinking the size of the public sector, as they were to the loss of the manufacturing industries in the early 1980s under the Thatcher Government. This paper examines the lives of those who live on this council estate; rely upon social housing, local services, and when the employment market shrinks welfare benefits. The paper addresses the key argument that there has been a significant change in representation of how council estates and working class people who live in them have been negatively re-branded and stigmatised over the last 30 years. Although the focus of the riots has centred around five days in August 2011, this paper introduces families, and individuals who have been part of this ethnographic research over an eight-year period. Thus arguing that the disturbances in 2011 were an unintended consequence of a significant neighbourhood and community decline over a generation, but which has been exacerbated since 2010 with the Coalition Government's austerity measures.

Purpose This study aims to measure the association between local retail grocery provision and private residential rental prices in England. Renting is an important sector of the housing market in England and local grocery provision is an important aspect of service provision and consumers are known to be highly sensitive to the branding of this type of retailing. Design/methodology/approach This research uses a novel data source from a property rental Web platform to estimate a hedonic model for the rental market. These models incorporate information on the nature of the properties and their neighbourhoods, with an emphasis on how different retail brands are associated with rental prices. This retail brand is captured on two scales: the provision of local branded convenience stores and the provision of larger stores. Findings The study finds clear differentials in how the local grocery brand is associated with rental prices. When controlling for commonly explored confounding factors, “Luxury” retailers such as Waitrose and Marks and Spencer are associated with higher rental prices, while “Discounter” retailers are associated with lower rental prices. This finding has many implications, particularly in relation to potential price changes in an already challenging housing market for many people. Research limitations/implications This is an observational study and as such only associations (not causation) can be implied by these findings. Originality/value The focus of this research is on the private residential property market, an important market in England but one that has enjoyed less scrutiny than the sales or socially rented markets. Rather than using general accessibility to retail, this research has differentiated the association by the retail brand and store size, two very important aspects of consumer choice.

Objectives Cohort studies must implement effective retention strategies to produce internally valid and generalizable results. Ensuring all study participants are retained, particularly those involved in the criminal legal system, ensures study findings and future interventions will be relevant to this group, who are often lost to follow-up: critical to achieving health equity. Our objective was to characterize retention strategies and describe overall retention among an 18-month longitudinal cohort study of persons on community supervision prior to and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods We implemented various retention strategy best-practices (e.g., multiple forms of locator information, training study staff on rapport building, study-branded items). During the COVID-19 pandemic, we developed and describe new retention strategies. We calculated overall retention and analyzed differences between those retained and lost to follow-up by demographic characteristics. Results Prior to the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, 227 participants enrolled across three sites (N = 46 North Carolina; N = 99 Kentucky; N = 82 Florida). Of these, 180 completed the final 18-month visit, 15 were lost to follow-up, and 32 were ineligible. This resulted in an overall retention of 92.3% (180/195). While most participant characteristics did not differ by retention status, a greater proportion of those experiencing unstable housing were lost to follow-up. Conclusion Our findings highlight that when retention strategies are flexible, particularly during a pandemic, high retention is still achievable. In addition to retention best-practices (e.g., frequent requests for updated locator information) we suggest other studies consider retention strategies beyond the study participant (e.g., paying participant contacts) and incentivize on-time study visit completion (e.g., providing a bonus when completed the study visit on time).

The Brazilian rural communities concentrate a significant fraction of the population exposed to deficient conditions in water supply, sanitary sewage, and solid waste management, which, combined with housing conditions, directly impact the quality of a healthy environment. Few studies have evaluated the salubrious conditions of a rural environment, and in the searches carried out, the use of branched hierarchical techniques was not verified. The objective of this work was to create a branched hierarchization of those variables that are the cause of unhealthy conditions of the housing environment. Initially, all the variables that affect the salubrity of the housing environment were listed, to later order them in a ramified form. Afterwards, and based on the technical literature, the parameters of adequacy and/or inadequacy of these variables were defined. This methodology was tested in a rural dwelling in order to exemplify its applicability. The application of the proposed tool has demonstrated a satisfactory practical use, with low time spent for its conclusion, besides providing a realistic characterization of the environment evaluated. This work provides an easily applicable methodology for obtaining a detailed report on the degree of adequacy of a wide range of variables that influence the healthiness of rural dwellings.

Since the 1970s, cities have become core areas for neoliberal restructuring strategies, policies and processes (Peck et al., 2009). Brenner et al. (2010) stress that different neoliberalization practices share the ambition 'to intensify commodification in all realms of social life' (Aalbers 2013, 1054). In addition, prominent critical scholars including Lefebvre, Harvey and Castells agree upon the fact that 'capitalist cities are not only arenas in which commodification occurs; they are themselves intensively commodified' (Brenner, Marcuse, and Mayer 2009, 178). The research argues that commodification of urban space is deepening under neoliberal urbanisation by expanding the commodity realm into spatial practice (Lefebvre, 1990), and by producing simultaneously its enabling mechanisms. It grounds this argument by investigating commodification through the critical case study of branded housing projects developed in Istanbul, Turkey. Housing enclaves have been expanding globally as part of neoliberal urbanisation and, as a particular version of contemporary housing enclaves, branded housing projects have been developed in Turkey since the early 2000s, following the intensification of neoliberal restructuring processes. Branded housing projects are housing enclaves produced under certain brands and provide key urban services within the confines of the projects. Housing enclaves and branded housing projects, in particular, present a representative case for various dynamics of commodification of urban space under neoliberal urbanisation. The research undertakes this critical case study by analysing spatial practice of branded housing projects, to investigate deepening of commodification of urban space, together with analysing discursive formation and development processes of this phenomenon to investigate enabling mechanisms for this commodification. As a result, the research proposes the concept of hyper-commodification of urban space to explain multi-layered deepening of commodification of urban space under neoliberal urbanisation as its main contribution. The research also contributes to methodology by proposing a mixed method strategy bringing critical disourse analysis from communication studies and spatial analysis from urban studies together.

Cette thèse étudie la valorisation du foncier public à Istanbul. Elle interroge les relations entre l’État et les acteurs de l’immobilier résidentiel en Turquie, leur rôle dans l’organisation de la production du logement et leurs prérogatives en matière de gestion foncière qui pousse à la hausse la valeur des terrains publics. Pour étudier les relations État-marché dans les mécanismes de valorisation du foncier public, cette thèse analyse un montage opérationnel original, le partage des recettes en échange du foncier (PREF). Ce montage résulte d’une collaboration étroite entre TOKİ, l’Administration Publique du Logement Collectif et sa filiale, Emlak Konut, une société d’investissement foncier et immobilier cotée. TOKİ mobilise les terrains publics et les transforme en terrains bâtir avant de les vendre à Emlak Konut. Ce dernier garde la propriété du sol mais sélectionne un promoteur privé, dans le cadre d’un appel d’offres, chargé de financer et de construire un type de logement haut de gamme spécifique : le logement de marque. Avec ce montage, TOKİ et Emlak Konut garantissent une valorisation optimale du foncier public et promettent d’en redistribuer une partie au profit de l’intérêt général, en finançant notamment le logement social et les équipements publics. À partir de deux projets en PREF, situés dans les quartiers de Kayabaşı et de Zekeriyaköy, et avec l’apport des théories de la rente foncière et des études urbaines portant sur la captation de la valeur foncière, cette recherche décrypte dans le détail les bilans financiers des deux opérations immobilières. Les résultats portent sur les processus de captation, de partage et de redistribution de la valeur foncière à Istanbul. Ils mettent en évidence les stratégies des acteurs du PREF pour sécuriser les investissements immobiliers dans le logement de marque et maximiser les revenus publics issus de la valorisation foncièreThis research is about the valuation of public land in Istanbul. It explores the relationship between the state and the residential real estate actors in Turkey. This includes focusing on the role of these actors in the organization of housing production, its prerogatives and how they drive an increase in public land value. To study the relationship between the state and the markets with regards to the mechanisms of promoting public land, the thesis includes an analysis of an original operational arrangement, the revenue sharing in exchange for land (RSEL). This set-up is the result of a close collaboration between TOKİ, the Mass Housing Administration and its subsidiary, Emlak Konut, a real estate investment trust (REIT). TOKİ recovers the state-owned public land, transforms it into building land and then sell it to Emlak Konut. The REIT retains ownership of the land but contracts a private developer, as part of a call for tenders, to be responsible for financing and building branded housing (a type of luxury housing). TOKİ and Emlak Konut work in this way together to ensure optimal valorization for the public land. They promise to redistribute part of it for the benefit of the residents. This includes by financing social housing and public facilities. This research examines existing theory of urban rent and land value capture through the case study of the analysis of the financial balance sheets of two branded housing RSEL projects located in the district of Kayabaşı and Zekeriyaköy. Research findings from the case study relates to capture processes and the sharing and redistribution of land value in Istanbul. The thesis highlights specifically the strategies of RSEL stakeholders to secure real estate investments in branded housing and maximize public revenues from land development

Med den starka prisuppgången på Stockholms bostadsmarknad som bakgrund är det intressant att undersöka skillnader i prisutveckling för bostadsrätter. Med en teoretisk utgångspunkt i modeller om prispåverkande faktorer har en fallstudie på ett premiumfastighetsbolag i Stockholm utförts. Metodmässigt är studien i huvudsak kvantitativ. Historisk data gällande försäljningar har undersökt och ställts emot bostadsprisindex där skillnader i prisutveckling har kunnat identifieras. Företaget i fallstudien visade sig ha en starkare prisutveckling än både index för Stockholm Stad och respektive SAMS-område, vilket innebär en högre avkastning för investerare i det undersökta företaget jämfört med index. En regressionsanalys har genomförts för att testa hypotesen att ett premiumvarumärke har positiv påverkan på priset på bostadsrätter. Variabeln premiumvarumärke konstaterades statistiskt signifikant enligt modellen som testades och hypotesen kunde bekräftas. Förändringen i pris och prisutveckling i den här studien kan härledas till förändrade preferenser på marknaden, ett starkt varumärke och ett relativt unikt koncept. För att kunna fastställa att ett premiumfastighetsbolags snabbare prisutveckling beror på dessa faktorer krävs dock ytterligare analyser av fler premiumföretag. Sammanfattningsvis konstateras att ett premiumvarumärke i det undersökta fallet påverkar både pris och prisutveckling gällande bostadsrätter positivt.Due to a rapid increase in housing prices at the Stockholm housing market there is a stated interest to further examine the differences in price development. A study of historical data from a premium property development company has been conducted. With theoretical models describing price determinants as a background data has been analyzed to find variances in price development. The study is primarily quantitative. By comparing historical data with price indices, differences in price development have been identified. The company showed greater price development than both the Stockholm index and each SAMS-area index. This results in a higher return, compared to index, for those who invest in an apartment from the studied company. A regression analysis has been conducted to test the hypothesis that a premium brand has a positive influence on property prices. The variable premium brand turned out to be significant according to the model and the hypothesis could be confirmed. A change in preferences, a strong brand and a relatively unique concept can explain a lot of the differences in price development in this study. To be able to determine that the differences really are due to these factors requires further research on premium property development companies. To summarize, a premium brand has a positive influence on both price and price development.

This chapter examines the work of young radicals in the Black Panthers, Young Lords Party, student left, and lower-profile neighborhood groups who sought to establish community say over housing during the Vietnam War period. It first provides an overview of ghetto radicalism in the late 1960s before turning to school activism and the involvement of women radicals in the housing struggle under the banner of community control. It then considers the emergence of the squatter movement, along with the squatter actions launched by young radicals in collaboration with older activists in an attempt to preserve ome of New York's scarce low-rent housing stock. It also discusses the interaction between Old and New Left housing organizers that amplified the feminist awakenings taking place in New York during this period. In particular, it looks at how young people who became active with Met Council on Housing were mentored by women whose brand of feminism focused on a deliberate analysis of sexual exploitation.

The buying habits of baby boomers really do differ from those of their parents. The authors show how marketers can use each group's consumption patterns to reach both markets most effectively. Another insight: buying habits of these groups differ according to the product or service offered. By analyzing each cohort's buying habits in various purchasing situations, the book dramatizes the need for customized marketing strategies. Based on two national surveys conducted by the Center for Mature Studies, Georgia State University, the book will be essential for marketing professionals and their academic colleagues. Moschis and his coauthors concentrate on food products, apparel, footwear, drugs and cosmetics, housing, technology products and telecommunications services, health care, travel and leisure, and financial and insurance services. They cover preferences for selected products and services, patronage habits, methods of purchasing, motives for preferences for specific brands and services and for payment methods, and reasons for buying direct. Each chapter addresses a specific product or service category and includes analyses of survey respondents by demographic and lifestyle characteristics and media use habits. The book concludes with a discussion of the implications of their research and the ways in which it will lead marketers to design more effective strategies, not only today but in the future.

This chapter draws upon ethnographic research within working-class communities in Nottingham and East London, families which rely upon public services, welfare benefits, and social housing. Since 2010 they are being subject to harsh cuts in their welfare benefits and also social goods through austerity policy linked to the banking crash of 2008. Rather than focus upon the economic situation of the poorest, this chapter addresses the key argument that there has been a significant change in the representation of working-class people, who have been negatively re-branded and stigmatised over the last 30 years. Successive governments have connected economic poverty with cultural and aspirational poverty. Austerity has been a constructed narrative that centres upon removing poverty by removing the practices, and the culture of the poor. The chapter argues that this rhetoric does the work that is needed in order to push through and justify inequalities. Those inequalities have taken the working class from positions of relative stability into serious precarity and undermined their ability to exert agency.

This chapter chronicles the story of a fourteen-year-old José Raul “Raulio” Rivera Fierro when his father died in 1973. As the chapter highlights, José's relationship with his father wasn't one of father and son bonding over fishing and camping trips or playing catch. The chapter follows how José started huffing glue and getting into trouble at school. He got a reputation as the “bad” Rivera child and was often accused of wrongdoing, although he was only sometimes responsible. As a branded troublemaker, José joined Los Diablos, a gang based out of the Sandoval housing projects where he lived. The chapter then elucidates what being part of a gang meant to José. It also recounts the time when José was sent to the Coffield Unit near Tennessee Colony, Texas, and how he founded Barrio Azteca in the early 1980s which evolved into one of the largest and most violent prison gangs in the Texas prison system. The chapter looks at José's radical departure from the environment where he had committed most of his crimes. It then examines how it mirrored the stories told by most of the few others who had truly left gang life behind them.

Harris lies in the Outer Hebrides and is very sparsely populated, with one small town and others scattered around the island’s perimeter. The population has halved since 1951. Tourism, fishing and crofting remain but most employment today is in the service sector, with good jobs in the public sector health and education. In recent years, the development of the ‘Harris brand’ has generated a dramatic increase in economic activity and employment, beyond the capacity of the available workforce. Housing pressure, especially, has inflated house prices and caused difficulty in retaining or attracting key workers. Residents who did not benefit from this boom face difficulties accessing support and risk social stigma in small communities. While the community and voluntary sectors are strong, reliance on family and friends is often more socially acceptable. Over 70 per cent of the Western Isles is now in community ownership, but despite this and the localisation of local government in 1975, there is still a sense of distance from centres of power in Edinburgh, London and multinational boardrooms around the globe.

During the late 1920s and early 1930s, some Bundists began to identify as non-Zionists. Although they viewed Zionism as a nationalist distraction from their socialist values, they believed assisting a fellow labor movement in Histadrut a worthy cause. Additionally, they saw Palestine as a practical option for persecuted Jews to emigrate. With immigration restriction quotas passed by congress in 1921 and 1924 that several restricted Eastern and Southern Europeans from immigrating to the United States, these non-Zionists in the labor movement viewed Palestine as a reasonable alternative for persecuted Jews to go and begin new lives with a strong labor movement to help absorb them into the growing Jewish society there. To help Histadrut absorb these new immigrants, Jewish trade-union leaders expanded beyond the fundraising of the Gewerkschaften Campaign to specifically raise money for colonization. They raised money for the purchase of land in two places where housing was built for these new settlers, naming one the Leon Blum colony and the other the Louis Brandeis colony. This demonstrated the power of these non-government organizations (NGOs) operating transnationally to develop the infrastructure of burgeoning nation. However, in 1939, the British government’s McDonald White Paper would drastically reduce Jewish immigration to Palestine for the next five years and then eliminate it altogether after 1944.

In the context of rapid urban expansion, as well as an increased growth and competition in the land development and construction industry; the earned value granted by differentiating attributes in projects is decisive for the brand positioning of a company and its competitive advantage. This study presents a method of designing positioning strategies for the land and housing developer. The objective is to outline initiatives that guarantee competitive advantage and that are recognized and appreciated by the clients, through innovative strategies and processes that increase the value of the attributes of the end product and that result in a sustained growth for the land development practices. The method included the review of the universe of attributes that housing and land developers consider important, their classification into attributes of "corporate identity" and "technical quality" to weight them through the valuation given by experts, competitors and clients; in order to determinate the degree of implementation based on its assessment by the experts, estimated cost and feasibility of implementation.

The construction of the new Gibellina is the starting point to reflect on the importance of memory and the rites of passage between the past and the future of a people. The construction of the city resulted from the destruction of the Belice earthquake of 1968 which wiped out the old town and forced the inhabitants to look for a new, safer place. What remains of the old city destroyed by the earthquake, with its painful heritage of ruins and rubble, has been transformed from a pour of concrete into a work of art: the "Cretto" by Alberto Burri. The new site arose from the design of Marcello Fabbri was the result of experimentation for the city of the future, designed for a significant increase in housing flows which later proved to be overestimated, creating a sense of alienation and out of scale. In the following years, the emotional and social clamor about the community was dramatic, due to the loss of the historical memory of the territory. The citizens of Gibellina had lost their place of origin, their "sacred pole". The contribution aims to highlight the links between past and future in the history of a place that pass through the relationships between the urban and social fabric in the transmission of the memories and identity of a people. After several decades, it is possible to evaluate the emotional effects of the choices made and reflect on the strategies that can be applied to heal the obvious gap between design and actual use of a place. The comparison between the settlement rituals of the nomadic tribe of the Omaha people based on the continuity of a symbolic object, the sacred pole, and the loss of the “genius loci” of Gibellina caused by the occultation of the macere, allows to identify an interesting and unprecedented parallelism in the re-foundation symbolic of the settlement principle which is at the basis of the rebirth of a community. As Torsello and Boscarino suggests, the memory of a people passes through its monuments. Etymologically it can be traced back to the Latin verb “monere” that is to remember, emphasizing the act of admonishing, warning, remembering the history imprinted in the voluntary action of building for the community.

Abstract Methane emissions are classed as one of the most important contributors to climate change. This greenhouse gas has a global warming potential 21 times that of Carbon Dioxide. In the Oil and Gas industry, pipeline compressor emissions have been identified as an important source of methane released into the atmosphere. Wet seals (oil seals) technology will not meet new targets being set for methane emissions. John Crane has therefore developed a new dry gas seal design with a significantly narrower cross section to allow historically high value compressor assets to continue to function without the need for extensive redesign or replacement. This dry gas seal has been specifically engineered to replace wet seals within older centrifugal pipeline compressors. The main reasons associated with conversion from wet seals to dry gas seals include: moving to non-contacting technology which reduces seal wear issues, reduced operating costs from removal of oil seal supporting systems including degassing equipment, lower energy consumption due to the shear losses associated with oil seals, reduced maintenance costs by having a simpler supporting system and less frequent routine maintenance, and reduced emissions. Wet seals are typically compact in nature and are therefore very flexible in how they can be installed into a compressor. Traditional dry gas seals occupy a larger cross-sectional footprint and therefore it was necessary to develop a brand new gas seal that can retrofit into the same cavity without the need for expensive and prohibitive machining of the compressor shaft or housing. The resulting gas seal design is significantly compact when compared to a standard gas seal, yet provides sealing at maximum pipeline compressor duties of up to 120barg and 100m/s. In order to create a compact seal, John Crane has significantly reduced the cross section of the rotating (mating) and stationary (primary) sealing faces. This change brings about an increased level of complexity associated with dry gas seal design. In-house FEA and CFD simulations have been used to optimize the seal design and groove patterns. Results documenting the extensive design and simulation activities will be presented to demonstrate effective separation of the sealing faces throughout the entire seal performance envelope. A number of tests were specifically designed to thoroughly validate the seal design by simulating compressor field conditions. The product has undergone a series of testing through its entire performance envelope for pressure, speed and temperature. Specific accelerated tests were also designed to replicate the seal lifetime. The paper will describe the test setup and present the validation results.
