Features
- Does not need any external piping.
- Cooling water or low temperature steam can be used in the seal chamber cooling jacket to decrease seal chamber temperature.
- Used in combination with Plan 62 steam quench for hot process media.
Application
- Large bore seal chambers, preferably with a cooling jacket.
- Low speed pumps.
- Generally popular in chemical industry.
Remarks, checkpoints
- The vapor pressure margin in the seal chamber must be considered carefully in order to avoid flashing.
- Provide a 12 o’clock vent when used with horizontal pumps with cylindrical seal chambers.
- Always use a cooling/heating jacket for cylindrical seal chambers.
- Regular maintenance and cleaning of the cooling jacket is recommended as they are prone to fouling in high temperature applications and also tend to become ineffective over a period of time due to poor cooling water quality.
Pump media characteristics
- Clean fluids with low temperatures and higher specific heat.
- Fluids which have adequate PTM (product temperature margin).
