Features
Quench fluid supply systems are used to supply single or tandem mechanical seals. They act as a convenient fluid reservoir. The exchange of fluid takes place by the thermosiphon principle or by forced circulation, e.g. with a pumping screw. The QFT1000 is made of transparent polyethylene, complete with clips made of stainless steel. The QFT1000 is resistant to water, glycerine, glycols and methanol; not resistant to mineral oils and toluene.
Supply of mechanical seal based on API 682 / ISO 21049, Plan 51.
Advantages
Excellent value for money
Transparent polyethylene: fluid level is read off directly on the quench fluid tank
Resistant to a wide range of quench media
Quickly and easily installed
Combined filling and ventilation filter in the quench fluid tank for reliable operation
Recommended applications
Chemical industry
Food and beverage industry
Pharmaceutical industry
Functional description
Quench fluid systems are employed:
to absorb leakage
to monitor the leakage rate (e.g. through periodic reading of the level in the tank)
to lubricate and to cool the outboard mechanical seal in a tandem arrangement
to prevent icing
to protect against dry running
to stabilize the lubricating film
to exclude air from the media in order to prevent a reaction with oxygen in the air
