Seal supply systems

Thermosiphon systems

TS6000

Features
The EagleBurgmann Thermosiphon systems of
the TS6000 range meet all the requirements to
supply mechanical seals in accordance with the
API 682 guidelines. The vessels are equipped
with all essential connections for fitting
additional components. The range is available in
two standard vessel sizes (shown: TS6000) with
dished heads; a version which can be
dismantled is also available as an option. The
modular system allows the TS6000 vessels to
be combined with a wide range of system
components such as, level switch/transmitter,
pressure switch/transmitter, base frame, etc.
Advantages
Operating limits up to 50 bar / 200C: suitable
for a wide range of demanding operating
conditions
Robust design with weld-pad type sight-glass
for optimum visual level monitoring
Modular system: combination with a wide
range of system components possible
A version which can be dismantled is also
available as an option: for optimum and
simple cleaning of the vessel interior

Functional description
The TS system performs all the basic functions of a buffer/barrier system for the operation of double
seals:
to pressurize the buffer chamber
leakage compensation
buffer/barrier fluid is circulated by thermosiphon effect or forced circulation system
to cool the seal
to selectively absorb product leakage and prevent dry running (tandem arrangement)

Use compressed air or nitrogen for pressurization; pressurization is monitored by a pressure switch.
The incorporated level switch issues a signal whenever the level of buffer/barrier fluid is too low.

Installation, Details, Options

Operating and installation diagram for a TS6000 system.

The TS vessel must always be installed higher than the mechanical seal. The buffer/barrier fluid
flows via the return pipe into the vessel and is cooled. The exchange of fluid takes place by the
thermosiphon principle or by forced circulation, e.g. with a pumping screw. Connection pipes to
the seal should be designed with as little resistance as possible.
