QFT3000

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 QFT3000 stainless steel tank is equipped with a sight-glass for monitoring the MIN filling level and can be fastened with a lug fixture.
 

Technical informations

• - Two sight-glasses fitted on opposite sides enable optimum reading of the fluid level and condition of the medium
• - Tank made of 1.4571: high resistance to corrosive media
• - Return flow via integrated rising pipe for selective current control
• - Combined filling and ventilation filter in the quench fluid tank for reliable operation

 

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
