Hi
We are using API 13 in combination with API 32 for support the mechanical seal of vertical condensate extraction pumps.
There is a problem on sealing lines (API 32) on the both pumps, the check valve allows backflow through it, so water flow from seal chamber of the running condensate pump to the seal chamber of the SB pump.
What is the reason of the two check valves are damaged?
What is the effect of the problem on the running pump and the SB pump?
