• PLAN 53A is used for the double  seals of arrangement 3 seal , that is, the pressure of the isolation fluid is higher than the maximum pressure of the seal chamber and at least 0.14MPa (20psi) higher, which can be achieved by flushing nitrogen at the top of the reservoir;

• This scheme is usually used in services where no leakage to atmosphere can be tolerated,It may also be selected for applications where the pump may be operated dry or the pump process fluid may be damaging to the seal faces.

• Piping Plan 53 is usually chosen over Piping Plan 52 for dirty, abrasive, or polymerizing products that would either damage the seal faces or cause problems with the buffer liquid system if Piping Plan 52 were used.

• The clean barrier liquid provides lubrication to the seal faces, but the barrier liquid that passes across the inner seal faces will enter the pumped process stream. Therefore, the process liquid shall be compatible with the barrier liquid and be able to tolerate a small amount of contamination from the barrier liquid.

• Can replace AES-12 AES-28  AES-15,GR3/3C GR2/2C,TSA6 TS1000 TSA2.
