Seal flushing methods
Table 4: You can use these methods in order to flush or cool the seal:
Method Description
Product flush Run the piping so that the pump pushes the pumped fluid from the
casing and injects it into the seal gland. If necessary, an external heat
exchanger cools the pumped fluid before it enters the seal gland.
External flush Run the piping so that the pump injects a clean, cool, compatible liquid
directly into the seal gland. The pressure of the flushing liquid must be
0.35 to 1.01 kg/cm
2
| 5 to 15 psi greater than the seal chamber pres-
sure. The injection rate must be 2 to 8 lpm | 0.5 to 2 gpm.
Other You can use other methods that employ multiple gland or seal cham-
ber connections. Refer to the mechanical seal reference drawing and
piping diagrams.
5.7.3 Packed stuffing box option
WARNING:
Packed stuffing boxes are not allowed in an ATEX-classified environment.
The factory does not install the packing, lantern ring, or split gland.
These parts are included with the pump in the box of fittings. Before you start the pump, you must install
the packing, lantern ring, and split gland according to the Packed stuffing box maintenance section in the
Maintenance chapter.
5.7.4 Connection of sealing liquid for a packed stuffing box
NOTICE:
Make sure to lubricate the packing. Failure to do so may result in shortening the life of the
packing and the pump.
