Better by Design: Swagelok Seal Support Systems Swagelok leverages deep fluid system expertise to design and construct simple-to-configure, easy-to-maintain,and safe-to-operate seal support systems. If you are tasked with keeping rotating equipmentonline and operating efficiently, you will find tha...

API Plan 51 is a quench system for use on the atmospheric side of a single seal. This system acts as a dead-ended reservoir for a fluid. API Plan 51 Kit contents shown solid and include some optional components. This plan: Prevents icing on the atmospheric side of the seal Is typically used ...

API Plan 62 delivers an external quench fluid to the atmospheric side of the seal. A typical application in a refinery is the prevention of coking on seal faces in hot hydrocarbon service by employing a steam quench. Nitrogen or clean water may also be used to quench or cool and clean the atmospheri...

API Plan 65A monitors leakage in a single seal arrangement. Connected to the drain port on the gland, a reservoir collects normal leakage and is constantly open to drain. In the event of a seal failure, an orifice fitting on the outlet of the system allows a level transmitter to trigger an alarm due...

API Plan 65B monitors leakage in a single seal arrangement. Connected to the drain port on the gland, a reservoir is allowed to collect normal leakage. A level transmitter on the reservoir triggers an alarm in the event of excessive leakage. A valve on the outlet side of the reservoir is typically l...

< 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 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 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 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...
