Key

1  Quench (Q)
2  Drain (D)

Features

  • The quench fluid cools the seal faces from underneath and also reduces coking and oxidation of the media by creating a barrier between the seal faces and the atmosphere.
  • Flushes away built-up material or solids underneath the seal faces.
  • Uses water, steam or nitrogen.
  • Applied with or without quench baffle.

Application

  • Used with steam to avoid coking or crystallization in hot hydrocarbon services.
  • Used with nitrogen to avoid icing in cryogenic services.
  • Used for services that tend to salt out e.g. caustic and salt services.
  • Applied at horizontal as well as vertical pumps.

 

Remarks, checkpoints

  • It has to be ensured that a close clearance throttle bush is fitted on the atmospheric side of the seal.
  • Quench pressure to be maintained between 0.2 to 0.3 barg (2.9 to 4.3 PSIG).
