Zusammenfassung:To provide a seal system which enables a cooling medium serving as a fluid barrier to be safely and properly supplied during normal operation even if the interior of the seal system is decompressed by a leak of the cooling medium serving as the fluid barrier in a case that a handling fluid of a pump includes toxic and combustible fluids.SOLUTION: A seal system includes: a double mechanical seal having pump side seal mechanisms 10, 12 and atmosphere side seal mechanisms 11, 13; a pump mechanism 19 which is driven by a rotary shaft 1; a medium circulation line 30 which circulates a barrier fluid, which is different from a handling fluid of a centrifugal pump, between a first chamber 22a and a second chamber 22b; a branch line 41 connected to the medium circulation line 30; an accumulator 40 connected to the branch line 41; an on-off valve 27 attached to the branch line 41; and a system controller 62 which opens the on-off valve 27 when a pressure in the second chamber 22b is lower than a threshold value.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】ポンプの取り扱い流体が毒性や可燃性流体を含む場合において、流体バリア兼冷却媒体のリークによるシールシステム内の減圧があっても、通常運転時に流体バリア兼冷却媒体が安全に、適切に補充されるシールシステムを提供する。【解決手段】シールシステムは、ポンプ側シール機構10,12および大気側シール機構11,13を有するダブルメカニカルシールと、回転軸1により駆動されるポンプ機構19と、遠心ポンプの取り扱い流体とは異なるバリア流体を第1チャンバ22aと第2チャンバ22bとの間で循環させる媒体循環ライン30と、媒体循環ライン30に接続された分岐ライン41と、分岐ライン41に接続されたアキュムレータ40と、分岐ライン41に取り付けられた開閉弁27と、第2チャンバ22b内の圧力がしきい値よりも低いときに、開閉弁27を開くシステムコントローラ62を備える。【選択図】図1
