SPB6 Barrier fluid system
with bladder accumulator
Features
Pressurized barrier system (closed circuit) for use in seal systems with high pressures and/or for hazardous/environmentally harmful processes. The SPB6000A4 (Plan 53B) range is available with a pressure accumulator, cooler (finned tube, water or air cooler with fan) and a wide range of instruments.
A refilling unit has to be provided.

Advantages
- Pressurization is by means of a pre-loaded bladder accumulator
- The nitrogen is separated from the barrier medium by membranes in the accumulator: nitrogen cannot get into the barrier medium or process medium
- Barrier pressure is created without any need for connection to a nitrogen supply
- Available with finned tube, water or air coolers with fan
- Modular system: combination with a wide range of system components/instruments possible
Standards and approvals
- API 682 / ISO 21049

Functional description
The SPB6000A4 is designed to perform the following functions of a barrier system:
- To pressurize the buffer chamber
- As leakage compensation
- To cool the seal
Pressurization (> process pressure) prevents the process medium from getting into the barrier circuit or the atmosphere. Pressurization is supplied by a pressure accumulator which is pre-loaded with nitrogen. Circulation in the barrier circuit occurs via the thermosiphon principle or by forced circulation, e.g., with a pumping screw.
