    Hi Johnny, Thanks for your reply. We use jacketed type bearing housings. Are you using the cooling coil or jacketed type bearing housings? We are experiencing bearing high temperature. I am suspecting to jacketed bearings instead of cooling coil. Shahab Zardynezhad

    Hi Johnny, Do you have pressurized LO system for your Coker pumps? Based on the energy density calculation they do not need, however for pre lubing and post lubing it may be better to consider. Shahab Zardynezhad

    Cocker Heater Charge Pump-Seal Plan/Arrangement

    Hello All, Most of the Cocker charge pumps are supplied by Arrangement-2 of API 682 seal. It means plan 23+52. The experience shows using plan 23 with Gas Oil is super expensive and plan 52 is not a suitable plan in terms of safety and reliability. Another option is to use plan 23+53B, however...

    Minimum Flow Values....

    Minimum continuous stable flow (MCSF) is the lowest flow at which the pump operate without exceeding the vibration limits imposed by API 610. MCSF shall be determined by Vendor and not Purchaser, When Vendor determined 140 m3/hr why did you propose 180m3/hr!!? This will cause AOR of the pump to...
