This type of double seal consists of two shaft seals mounted in a
tandem arrangement in a separate seal chamber.

The seal can be used in these cases:
•
The pump is operating with a negative pressure (vacuum).

•
The pump is pumping crystallised liquids, for instance sugar.
5
•
The pump is pumping hardening liquids (oil products).

5. Flushing liquid
Select the flushing liquid according to the application and must
not chemically attack the material of the pump and the shaft seal.
The flushing-liquid flow must also be matched to the application
(recommended flow rate 25-200 l/h).
Warning
Never connect the flushing-liquid supply directly to
the public water supply system. Observe local
regulations.
It is possible to connect the seal chamber to a separate flushing-
liquid tank. In such cases, the manufacturer's installation and
operating instructions must be observed.
5.1 Maximum flushing-liquid pressure and
temperature
Due to the shaft seal design, the pressure in the seal chamber
must not exceed 25 bar. The pressure of the flushing liquid must
always be lower than the pressure of the pumped liquid.
The maximum temperature of the flushing liquid depends on the
rubber material of the shaft seal.
