ABSTRACT:
A seal assembly, for an additive pump having a reciprocating piston, is provided. The seal assembly includes a seal carrier having first and second components each having a bore therein to receive the piston. Each component has an end face arranged to abut one another when arranged axially on the piston, and a face seal is interposed between the end faces to inhibit egress of fluid between the end faces. A pair of circumferential seals at axially spaced locations are provided along the seal carrier and operable to engage the piston during reciprocating thereof, and a drain port intersecting one of the bores intermediate the seals is provided to permit egress of fluid from between the seals.
