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.
