The Intermediate Housing Gas Seal Plate is a precision-engineered component installed between turbocharger or compressor housing sections. Manufactured from high-temperature alloy steel or stainless steel, it features lapped sealing surfaces, bolt holes, and sometimes integrated labyrinth or piston ring grooves. This plate prevents gas leakage between turbine and compressor stages, maintaining pressure differentials and efficiency. Common applications include turbochargers, gas compressors, and industrial blowers. Proper flatness and surface finish ensure reliable sealing under extreme thermal cycling and vibration. The seal plate also provides structural rigidity to the intermediate housing assembly.
