Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods for sealing a static or rotary tube to a rotary tube that is part of a thermal unit performing an airless or oxygen starved high-temperature incineration process like pyrolysis in such a way that the joining of the tubes does not interfere with the oxygen controlled processes within the rotating thermal unit tube. Embodiments comprise a seal comprising chambers for sealing material supported by rollers contacting flanges of rotating tube elements and suspended by gimbals to permit the seal to move in a transverse direction, to swing, and to rotate while maintaining the seal.
