What is Barrier vs. Buffer Fluid Explained about?
Barrier fluid is used between two seals when the fluid pressure is higher than the stuffing box pressure, while buffer fluid is used when the pressure is lower. Water is well-suited as a barrier or buffer fluid due to its high heat capacity and conductivity, while petroleum oil is poorly suited due to its low heat capacity and conductivity. The circulation method for the fluid, either forced, pumping ring, or convection, depends on the pressure, pump speed, and shaft size.
