Thermosyphon Pot Systems for Double Mechanical Seals
Support for dual seal arrangements. Selected by pressurised or unpressurised system, fluid, heat load and seal connections.
View Details →Thermosyphon Pot Systems for API Plan 52 Applications
Unpressurised buffer-fluid reservoir for suitable dual seals. Selected by seal arrangement, process pressure, venting, cooling and instrumentation.
View Details →Thermosyphon Pot Systems for API Plan 53A Applications
Pressurised barrier-fluid reservoir for suitable dual seals. Selected by required barrier pressure, gas source, cooling, volume and instrumentation.
View Details →Information Required to Select a Thermosyphon Pot System
The reservoir should be selected as part of the seal system. Vessel volume alone does not confirm pressure rating, cooling, instruments or connection arrangement.
| Selection Detail | Information to Provide |
|---|---|
| Equipment | Pump, agitator, mixer, reactor or other rotating equipment |
| Seal arrangement | Double seal type, seal drawing and circulation connections |
| System plan | Plan 52, Plan 53A or other specified support requirement |
| Pressure | Process pressure and required buffer or barrier pressure |
| Temperature | Process, seal-area and ambient temperature |
| Support fluid | Proposed buffer or barrier fluid and compatibility requirement |
| Cooling and circulation | Thermosyphon circulation, pumping ring, cooling coil or external cooling |
| Instrumentation | Level, pressure, temperature, filling, vent and drain connections |
Custom Thermosyphon Pots and Seal Support Assemblies
Reviewed Against Seal and Plant Requirement
Ashish Seals India can review reservoir capacity, material of construction, cooling coil, mounting, tubing connections and instrumentation according to the seal and plant requirement.
Plan 52 vs Plan 53A
Plan 52 and Plan 53A serve different pressure relationships. The correct system should be confirmed from the seal arrangement and process pressure before fabrication.
Replacement and Retrofit
For replacement or retrofit requirements, send the existing pot drawing, nameplate, connection sizes, seal details and site photographs. Do not select a pot only by external dimensions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a thermosyphon pot system used for?
It can provide buffer or barrier fluid support for a suitable double mechanical seal and may assist circulation, cooling and monitoring.
Does every double mechanical seal require a thermosyphon pot?
Not necessarily. The required support plan depends on the seal arrangement, process pressure, fluid and equipment duty.
What is the difference between Plan 52 and Plan 53A?
Plan 52 uses an unpressurised buffer-fluid reservoir for suitable dual seals, while Plan 53A uses a pressurised barrier-fluid reservoir.
How is the thermosyphon pot size selected?
Selection considers the seal, fluid volume, heat load, circulation, pressure, instruments, connection layout and applicable specification.
Can you supply a cooling coil inside the pot?
Cooling-coil requirements can be reviewed using the process temperature, available utilities, support fluid and heat load.
What details are required for a quotation?
Provide the seal drawing, support plan, process and barrier pressure, temperature, fluid, capacity, materials, connections and instruments.
Can you replace an existing thermosyphon pot?
Yes. Send the existing drawing, nameplate, dimensions, connection sizes, seal arrangement and site photographs.
Can you supply the mechanical seal and support system together?
The combined requirement can be reviewed so the seal connections and support-system arrangement are matched correctly.
