Bottled nitrogen in the liquid chlorine submersible pump plant

Nitrogen serves to seal the shaft of the submersible pump; the nitrogen pressure in the factory is lower than that in the gas cylinder. I hope this helps you. Speaking more in forums helps everyone improve together!
Thank you. I think that’s the case too; let’s communicate with each other
Reply to 1# super_heu: Bottled nitrogen is used as the sealing gas when the submersible pump is shut down; a relatively high pressure is required, which is why bottled nitrogen is used.
Another very important function is to use nitrogen from gas cylinders for emergency sealing in the event of a sudden power outage and a lack of nitrogen in the factory. Because a power outage across the entire plant leads to a shortage of nitrogen supply, this can cause chlorine to leak through the pump shaft seals; it is then that the nitrogen from the gas cylinders plays a crucial role.
