Flush is injected into the seal chamber from an external source. Care must be exercised in
choosing a source of seal flush to eliminate potential for vaporization of the injected fluid and to
avoid contaminating the fluid being pumped with the injected flush.

External reservoir providing buffer liquid for the outer seal of an Arrangment 2 seal. During normal
operation, circulation is maintained by an internal pumping ring. The reservoir is usually continuously vented
to a vapor recovery system and is maintained at a pressure less than the pressure in the seal chamber.
