Mechanical seal system SPB-580

A complete and fully functional Plan 53B system for arrangement 3 (3CW-FB, 3CW-BB, 3CW-FF) dual seals in accordance with API 682 or ISO 21049 latest edition – for shaft diameters ≤ 60mm and >60mm. 

These low budget, yet complete and fully functional API 682 compliant units are best suited for standard applications. Appreciating the need for sustainable and robust designs, without compromising performance, system construction primarily uses SS316L piping and piping components, except for the accumulator.

Materials and fabricated joints in line with table 4 of the API 682. 

The accumulator is a commodity item that is usually constructed from Cr/Mo steel using a Nitrile bladder and seals. Other materials available on request. 

The highly efficient Flopac forced- or natural air draught seal coolers are constructed from SS316L seamless piping with full contact laser-welded SS316Ti cooling fins. Our range of TEMA C shell & tube seal coolers typically use SS316L piping with a SS316 bundle and CS shell.

 Other materials available on request.

Main components

9

One piping assembly

An all stainless steel 316/316L threaded or socket-welded piping construction with flanged seal supply and return connections. The remainder of client connections are threaded NPT. Flanged termination points for all client connections are available on request.

9

Appendages

The fill-, vent- and drain connections are provided with a valve. The fill connection is additionally fitted with a non-return valve to prevent the accidental backflow of potentially hot and dangerous barrier liquid during filling operations. The nitrogen charge connection is a commodity item provided with a gas-valve. Further appendages as appropriate; 

9

One pressure indicating transmitter

A 4-20mA Smart/Hart® pressure transmitter of high industrial quality with a 0.2% accuracy and including a  local display. Wetted parts SS316 with an IP 66 PU coated aluminium housing. Mounted on a SS316 instrument block and bleed valve.

9

One natural air draught cooling secion

A Flopac high efficiency CNA-100 natural air draught cooler, body material SS316L with full contact laser-welded 316Ti cooling fins(*1). Nominal capacity 750 Watt. Higher capacities available on request.

(*1) The full contact laser-welded 316Ti fins offer superior strength and a much better heat conductivity. 316Ti fins are well suited for offshore conditions.

Options

9

Alternative material selections for specific services.
