API 682 Plan 53B

[RJAOB]

Hello everyone,

I have a high pressure, high temp API centrifugal pump application that will run with a plan 53B double mech seal. I am planning to use an accumulator with a bladder as the seal pot to avoid N2 degassing on the seal chamber.

Have you had any experience with this seal support system plan? Any concerns with the use of an acumulator with a blader?
