API Seal Plan 52 Buffer Fluid Seal Pot
< Back to Between Seal Plans API Seal Plan 52 utilizes a reservoir and circulates an unpressurized buffer fluid between the inboard and outboard seals. To provide positive circulation through the support system and into the seal, a pumping ring is employed. Frictional losses in the buffer fluid inl...

API Plan 53B Barrier Fluid Pressurized by Bladder Accumulator
API Plan 53B circulates a pressurized barrier fluid between the inboard and outboard seals. The source of pressurization is a bladder accumulator. Plan 53B has the advantage of not allowing gas absorption into the barrier fluid which may allow for operation at higher pressures than Plan 53A. Barrier...

API Plan 53C Barrier Fluid Pressurized by Piston Accumulator
API Plan 53C circulates a pressurized barrier fluid between the inboard and outboard seals. The source of pressurization is a piston accumulator. Plan 53C is preferred for applications where the seal chamber pressure may vary during pump operation. A sensing line is typically run from the seal chamb...

API Plan 54 Barrier Fluid Pressurized by External System
API Plan 54 is a custom engineered system that delivers a pressurized barrier fluid to the seal chamber. The barrier liquid is circulated to and from the seal chamber via a pump located on an external reservoir. This fluid is maintained at a pressure greater than that found in the seal chamber. A Pl...

API Plan 55 Buffer Fluid Circulated by External System
API Plan 55 is a custom engineered system that delivers an unpressurized buffer fluid to the seal chamber. The buffer liquid is circulated to and from the seal chamber via a pump located on an external reservoir. A Plan 55 can contain filters, coolers, and other components that are selected accordin...

API Plan 53A Barrier Fluid Seal Pot Pressurized by Nitrogen
API Plan 53A utilizes a reservoir and circulates a pressurized barrier fluid between the inboard and outboard seals. The typical source of pressurization is plant nitrogen. The reservoir should be set at least 20 psi (1.3 bar) above maximum seal chamber pressure. This is to ensure that leakage acros...

API Plan 32 External Flush
< Back to Process Side Plans API Plan 32 delivers a clean flush fluid into the seal chamber from an external source. Typically used with a close-clearance throat bushing, this arrangement can be used to ensure a higher pressure in the seal chamber. Flush fluid will migrate past the bushing, so it i...
