AESSEAL API Plan 11
API Piping plans help to ensure good conditions for mechanical seal operation as well as improving safety and pump reliability
+
Description
Product recirculation from pump discharge to seal through a flow control orifice.
Use
1. In general, applications with clean non-polymerizing fluids with moderate temperatures.
Caution
1. Calculation of recirculation flow rate, heat removal and orifice size are required.
2. Orifice size should be at least 1/8” (3.2mm).
3. Check the margin between discharge pressure and seal chamber pressure to ensure proper flow of fluid.
4. Do not use with media containing solids and abrasives.
