In this Silverson Mixing Science animation, we explain where and when Thermosyphon Sealant Systems are needed in use with Silverson In-Line Mixers.

We have covered single and double mechanical shaft seals in another animation which you can view here:    • Specifying Mechanical Shaft Seals for...  

A thermosyphon sealant system would be used with double mechanical shaft seals. If using a liquid other than water as a sealant fluid, for example oil or glycerine, then a thermosyphon system is often required.

This lubricates and cools the shaft seals by convection.

Watch the animation to find out more about how these systems work.
