Dear All,
We have an HTF service up to 220 degree.C with medium used is Thermoline oil. We are in the process of selecting appropriate mechanical seal design for such high temp service. The service is contious. Motor raing is 170 kW.
Current proposal is use API Plan 53B with air forced cooler barrier fluid. please advsie your experience in such installation.

If you decide to use plan 53 then you do not need air blast you can use natural convection. This removes the need of electric motors. There are many services using natural convection successfully.
Trust this helps
