A seal support system for a device for sealing an item of rotating equipment, comprising:
- a vessel for holding fluid for supply to a sealing device, a stand having a base, the stand being secured to said vessel with vessel being movable relative to said base, an air direction device for at least partially surrounding means for generating air movement for directing moving air from a vicinity of the means for generating air movement along a path provided by said air direction device into which the vessel is positionable.
A method for cooling fluid contained within a vessel forming part of a seal support system for a device for sealing an item of rotating equipment including means for generating air movement, said method comprising the steps of:
- mounting the vessel on an adjustable stand, mounting air direction device so as, at least partially, to surround the means for generating air movement so that, in use, a path of air from the means for generating air movement is provided by said air direction device, and adjusting the stand for positioning the vessel within said path.
