1)
Pressureless: The pumped liquid will continuously leak into the auxiliary system liquid, the maximum
leakage is 1.5 ml per hour, and may fill the auxiliary system.
2)
Pressurised: The barrier liquid will continuously leak into the pumped liquid, the maximum leakage is 1.5 ml
per hour. The liquids must be compatible.
3)
Circulating: circulating liquid.
A temperature increase of 7-10 K across the shaft seal chamber and a maximum outlet temperature of 70
°C must be maintained. This ensures correct function of the shaft seals.
If circulation is lost, the temperature of the barrier or flushing liquid will increase.
