ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for circulating and cooling a liquid lubricant utilized for lubricating an external device such as a mechanical seal. A housing has an internal lubricant reservoir and at least one peripheral outer sidewall with axially spaced and lower end wall portions in sealed relation with the peripheral outer sidewall. A cooling chamber is disposed about at least a portion of the internal reservoir and within the housing in communicating relation with the internal reservoir and is formed at least in part by the outer peripheral sidewall such that heat is transferable from within the chamber to an outside atmosphere. The apparatus also includes lubricant return means and feed means, the lubricant return means being at a level higher than the lubricant feed means such that lubricant which is returned from the mechanical seal to the cooling chamber flows downwardly therewithin -- by natural convection and gravity -- to the feed means so as to be directed back to the mechanical seal to provide further lubrication. Means for introducing a gaseous medium under elevated pressures into the reservoir serves to raise the level of the lubricant in the cooling chamber sufficiently to enable adequate heat transfer to take place through the peripheral outer sidewall and to insure a closed liquid loop which permits continuous convectional flow regardless of the level in the reservoir.
