Plan 62 (Quench Line)

Why do we use it?
- When the outboard leakage of a seal is an oil which may coke or degrade in contact with atmosphere (steam or N2)
- When the outboard leakage of a seal may crystalise, or polymerise (water)
- When the outboard leakage of a seal may solidify (water or steam)
- When the outboard region is prone to icing
Advantages:
Plan 62 is a low cost alternative to tandem seals. The quench prevents or retards product crystallization or coking. Quenches can also provide some cooling.
General:
Typical applications; steam quench on hot services to retard coking, nitrogen quench on cold or cryogenic service to prevent icing, or water quench to prevent crystallization or accumulation of product on the atmosphere side of the seal. May be used with or without a steam deflector. For steam quenches a steam trap is recommended. A pressure indicator is optional.
