Sealing of the pump

Yes, it is a water seal formed by clean water at the dynamic seal, one whose pressure is greater than the leakage pressure. It is a type of sealing method commonly used for media that contain many impurities or are corrosive, such as those handled by slurry pumps; such media can damage the packing seals. For reference.
It’s explained too simply; adding a picture to illustrate the operating conditions will make it clearer
Isn’t it just the rinsing protocol for Plan54?
There are many schemes for flushing mechanical seals; the description is too simplistic. It’s hard to tell. It would be best to have images
Pictures speak louder than words; based on your description, the device uses circulating water, and it’s very likely that it’s jacket cooling water. The flushing water is generally a clean medium.
