Abstract
A seal protection system includes a housing located on a dry side of a seal and adjacent to the frame of a pump. The housing, in part, defines a cooling chamber adjacent to the seal in which a cooling liquid may be circulated. The cooling liquid may be contained within the chamber or within a reservoir removed from the chamber. The cooling liquid circulates within the chamber to keep the seal cool even if the pump is operating under dry conditions.
