Description
Unpressurised external buffer fluid circulation from a central pressure source or by a stand alone pumping unit.
Features
- Ensures higher flow rate, better heat dissipation and positive circulation of buffer fluid.
- Can also be given as a stand-alone unit per pump.
- Increases cooler efficiency due to higher flow rate to the heat exchanger
- No process contamination.
- No direct leakage to atmosphere.
Use
- For media where product dilution is not allowed but leakage to atmosphere in diluted form may be allowed.
- Preferred for clean, non-polymerizing media that may solidify in contact with atmosphere.
- For media with high pressures and/or high temperature and/or high heat generation between faces.
- Wherever Plan 52 circulation is insufficient to dissipate heat.
Caution
- Carefully consider the reliability of buffer fluid source, if a central source is used.
- Circulating system pressure must be less than seal chamber pressure and less than 28bar.
- Always check filter/strainer in the system for any possible blockages.
- Not suitable for polymerizing media.
- Ensure suitable flow is maintained at all times.
