5.1 Determining the position of the quench reservoir
NOTE
As a rule, the reservoir should be mounted 0.8 m above the mechanical seal.
5.2 Aligning and fastening the quench reservoir
1. Attach the quench reservoir to the stand/bracket using the mounting unit on
the back of the KSB quench system and bolts/nuts.
5.3 Connections to the mechanical seal
1. Install the quench reservoir as close as possible to the mechanical seal.
ð Avoid tight curves, kinks and complicated circuits to reduce passive
resistances and pressure losses in the circuit.
ð Lay the piping with a continuously rising slope to prevent air from
accumulating in the piping.
2. Ensure that no shut-off elements are installed in the circuit which could
interrupt the fluid circulation.
5.4 External connections to the KSB quench system
Operating mode to API Plan 51: application for single mechanical seal
▪ Threaded connection to the mechanical seal (A)
▪
Cap for filling in / topping up quench liquid
▪ Sight glass for checking the fill level
Operating mode to API Plan 52: application for double mechanical seal
▪ Threaded connection to the mechanical seal (A)
▪
Threaded connection from the mechanical seal to the quench system (B)
▪ Cap for filling in / topping up quench liquid
▪ Sight glass for checking the fill level
1. A shut-off valve can be installed underneath the quench reservoir to isolate the
quench system for any maintenance work.
