Section 4 Taking the Time
Planning for the Unexpected
Retirement is the beginning of a new life. However, when the new adventure is interrupted unexpectedly by either an incapacitating illness, injury or death, the family and/or surviving heirs, especially spouses, will be faced with many problems that can be avoided or lessened by thoughtful action and advance preparation on the retiree's part.
The information contained herein is offered to you by the LRO for your consideration and evaluation to decide how you might choose to help prepare your spouse, family and/or surviving heirs for some of the transitions that follow having an incapacitating illness, injury and/or death. Please note that the information presented is not legal advice; it may not cover everything you may need to prepare, and Federal and State laws govern the disposition of estates. Please choose whatever information may be useful. You may think of things not shown in this article. If so, please share it with the Lucent Retirees Organization (LRO) and it may be included in a future update. Send your suggestions to email@example.com.
An extremely important first step is to have the following estate planning documents: a Will, Power of Attorney, and a Health Care Directive or Living Will. These documents will help ensure that someone you trust can make decisions for you. The documents should be prepared, signed and properly witnessed to meet the legal requirements of the state you live in. In some states it may be important to keep track of witnesses' locations. In the event of a disputed will, this might become important. Sometimes this is a good reason to have younger people serve as witnesses as they are more likely to survive you.
Another very important step is to commit to paper what documents and information may or will be needed and where to locate the documents and information. To prepare such a list for your spouse, family and/ or surviving heirs may take some time and effort, and it can be easy to put it off, like making a Will, Power of Attorney, or a Health Care Directive or Living Will. Don't be daunted by the amount of information that may need to be gathered. The process doesn't have to be done all at once and over a period of a few weeks it can all be accomplished.
If you and your spouse, family and/or surviving heirs are able to discuss your plans in the event of a serious illness, injury or your death it can be very useful to go over your completed list, should you choose to make one, and answer any questions. Keep in mind that if you become incapacitated or deceased, they will have a much more difficult time getting answers to questions you could have answered quickly and easily. You may even want to create a binder or folder entitled "Estate Planning" or "Survivor's Help Document" or some other title you prefer. In it can be included all of the information they would need in the event of your illness or death. Keeping this in a safe place is very important after review with your spouse, family and/or surviving heirs.
The LRO has grouped their suggestions in a Survivor's Help Document, "Planning for the Unexpected." Section 1 of this document offers suggestions on collecting, organizing and identifying important papers and information you may want to include in your binder or folder. Section 2 covers items to consider for looking ahead at financial planning for a spouse's and/or children's finances. In Section 3, the notices, actions and contacts section, there is information on required notifications that may need to be addressed by family members and/or survivors, including website addresses and phone numbers for government agencies, such as Social Security and Medicare, plus the Lucent Pension Services Center. A list of contact numbers for the various benefit programs that may be applicable to you, your spouse and /or family members is also included in Section 3. Section 4 summarizes why taking the time to do estate planning and putting together an estate binder or a survivor's help document is beneficial.
Suggested below is a list of the documents and information that may or will be needed by your spouse, family and/or surviving heirs in the event of an incapacitating illness, injury or death.
a) Name of Lawyer, address and phone number
b) Name of Accountant and/or Tax Preparer, address and phone number
c) Safe Deposit Box and Contents - Indicate where Safety Deposit Box and key for Safety Deposit Box is located. Provide a list of contents in safety deposit box.
d) Will, Durable Power of Attorney, Health Care Agent Directive (sometimes known as a Health Care Proxy) and Living Will documents in accordance with state and federal laws. A will authorizes how you want your estate to be distributed and to whom; and a durable power of attorney authorizes someone to make financial transactions on your behalf. A health care agent directive, sometimes known as a health care proxy authorizes someone to make medical decisions if you are incapacitated; and a living will states what medical treatments and life sustaining measures you do and do not want. You should document, as well as inform your spouse, family and /or surviving heirs, where these documents can be located. It is also a good idea to file a copy of your health care initiatives with your family physician and to go over your wishes with family members that you authorize as Health Care Agents. It can also be useful to keep a set of health care initiatives in your vehicle when you travel. Should you have an accident or be visiting away from your home area and be unable to direct your care, perhaps someone else with you can present these initiatives to medical authorities. Should you require hospitalization at any point it is a good idea to have on file with that hospital information about your health care initiatives.
e) In the event of your death, directions for final disposition of remains (In other words, where do you want your burial to be or is your desire for cremation?)
f) Discuss with your spouse who is to get what personal property and make a list with the designations you want. It may be a good idea to ask your beneficiaries if they want these items. Take into account as much as possible the preferences of children in making this list. Ask your spouse to carry out your wishes when your homework is done.

b) Health Conditions and Medicines – In event of incapacitating illness it is best to have on record a list of current illnesses for which you are taken medications, the name of the prescriptions, prescription number, doctor prescribing, the name of the pharmacy and telephone number where prescription is filled. Some pharmacies will provide you at no charge with an "Emergency Information" container or vial. The purpose of the container is for you to record your medical history on a preprinted sheet and store the information in a container in the refrigerator or in a medicine cabinet. A sticker is also provided with the container for you to place in your kitchen or bathroom alerting someone that your medical information is stored in the refrigerator or bathroom in the event you have a medical emergency.

In addition to collecting, organizing, and identifying documents there are other things that you can do to assist your spouse, family and/or surviving heirs. Some thoughts and suggestions follow for your consideration. You may find some of the ideas may not apply to you.
To help you and spouse, family and/or surviving heirs decide if changes in spending during your lifetime are needed to conserve more resources for your spouse upon your death, you could prepare a tentative, draft budget for your spouse, adjusting income for:
Social Security – If your social security benefit is higher than your spouse's, your spouse's benefit may be increased upon your death. Check with Social Security at 1-800-772-1213 to make that determination.
Pension Reduction – Depending on the options available and if elected at the time you retired, the Lucent plan pays your spouse a Survivor Benefit that is either 50% or 100% of your pension, assuming your spouse did not sign away / waiver his or her rights to that payment in exchange for you to receive 100% of your pension instead of a reduced amount during your lifetime.
Life Insurance - Estimate the annual income your spouse may receive from life insurance payable upon your death (an annual pro-ration of this capital can also be used for income). Determine the total estimated income and then calculate estimated taxes on that amount. The reason for doing this is that your spouse may fall into a lower income tax bracket thus effectively providing more disposable income.
401k / IRA Accounts – Remember to include these with estimated distributions for your spouse in estimating a budget.
Health Benefits - Find out what happens to your benefits in the event of your death and how it may impact your surviving spouse and/or dependents. Will there be additional costs for health benefits that may need to be considered when doing financial planning for the future?
Residence – You and your spouse and/or family may want to discuss your wishes or those of a surviving spouse in respect to wanting and being able to stay in the home or relocating in the event of an incapacitating illness or death.
Special Needs - Take into consideration any special medical or financial needs of your spouse, child and/or beneficiaries and any other special arrangements that may be needed.
Go over the results of the information that you gathered with regards to social security, pension, life insurance and 401k/IRA accounts and benefit programs, and any special needs / arrangements that may be needed for your spouse, child and/or beneficiaries. Decide together what steps you might take to improve the result, if needed, recognizing that this is just a "still snapshot" at a point in time that will change with time and inflation. And, provide a written copy to your spouse and/or family member(s) and/or who you want to handle matters for you.
Take steps if you wish to ensure your assets pass to your spouse, family and/or surviving heirs without having to go through your estate. A qualified lawyer can help you with this based on your state's laws.
In addition to collecting, organizing and identifying the documents and information suggested in Section 1, certain notices and actions, depending on the state you live in, may be required upon your death. You may want to discuss these and other voluntary items with your spouse, family members and/or surviving beneficiaries.
Below is a list of actions that may need to be taken and the contact numbers, where available, that may be needed in the event of your death or an incapacitating illness / injury. As indicated in Section 1, Organizing, Collecting and Identifying information regarding each of these contacts, names, telephone numbers, addresses should be available and easily accessible in the event of your death. Refer to Section 1 for suggestions on what information to compile for some of the contacts listed below, if applicable. Also provided are the contact numbers for the various benefit programs that may be applicable to you and your spouse, which may be needed in the event of a serious or incapacitating illness. Note that if you don't have a computer to access the various benefit websites through the Internet at home, you should check with your local library as they often offer Internet access free of charge.
Physician and/or Authorities (Police) - May have to be contacted in order to validate that someone died naturally for the body to be released to a funeral home.
Funeral Director – Needs to be contacted to make arrangements for burial or cremation. Some survivors are so grieved or feel guilty that exorbitant amounts may be spent on final rites. Consider expressing your wishes orally and putting these on paper.
Article for Newspaper(s) – You may wish to write your own obituary and inform those who need to know that you have done so. Generally newspapers print a minimum amount of information without charge. You may want to check with newspapers where you would want your obituary to be printed to determine their charges. Oftentimes the Funeral Director will handle getting the announcements to the appropriate newspapers requested by family members.
Bank(s), Savings, Investment Institutions – The appropriate paperwork will need to be provided in order for the surviving spouse, family member and/or Executor to have access to any account(s) or safety deposit boxes, etc.
Lawyer – Your lawyer may have retained the original of your will or may have a copy and can provide guidance on filing the appropriate paperwork for your estate.
Clerk of Court – This official is key to estate resolution and should be consulted as soon as possible by your Executor after your death to learn what your state requires to process and close your estate. You may wish to let your Executor know about this. Usually the Clerk of the Court or the Registrar of Deeds can advise about whether house ownership transfers automatically or if a new deed needs to be issued. Contact your County Courthouse to obtain the contact number for the Clerk of the Court in your area.
Accountant or Financial Advisor – As indicated in Section 1, call attention in discussion or in your paperwork that your heirs should seek professional tax advice before taking any amount of distribution.
Social Security –– www.socialsecurity.gov or 1-800-772-1213; hearing impaired use 1 800-325-0778) - If applicable, contact to advise of death in order to collect the Surviving Spouses Social Security death benefit of $255, to stop Social Security payments to the deceased and to begin surviving spouse's Social Security benefits, if applicable. If your social security benefit is higher than your spouse's, your spouse's benefit may be increased upon your death. Check with Social Security to make that determination.
Veterans Administration – www.va.gov or 1 800-827-1000 - If applicable, should be contacted for survivor benefits
Medicare – www.medicare.gov or 1-800-633-4227 – Contact Medicare to notify of death or to ask any questions related to benefit questions, and processing of claims, etc.

Packets of information as well as forms will be sent to the surviving spouse or qualified beneficiary(ies) for completion.
Depending on the options available and if elected at the time you retired, the Lucent plan pays your spouse a Survivor Benefit that is either 50% or 100% of your pension, assuming your spouse did not sign away / waiver his or her rights to that payment in exchange for you to receive 100% of your pension instead of a reduced amount during your lifetime. In the event you did not have a spouse at retirement and instead elected the Ten-Year Annuity benefit, the Pension Service Center will need to be contacted to begin this benefit, if the benefit is still applicable.
Lucent Life and Accident Insurance Plans – MetLife – 1-888-201-4612 - Management Retirees If you retired under the Service Based Program provisions of the Lucent Retirement Income Plan or the Lucent Technologies Inc.

You are eligible for supplementary life insurance coverage if you had supplementary life insurance coverage immediately before your retirement.

Spouse's coverage automatically continues for six months after retiree dies as long as the spouse's share of the cost continues to be paid. This six-month period is considered the COBRA continuation of benefits period. At the end of this COBRA continuation period, your spouse may choose to continue coverage under the Traditional Indemnity plan if the spouse pays the full cost for this insurance coverage. Since individual health insurance is very hard to find for someone under 65, it is especially important to consider this continued coverage at least until the spouse is eligible for Medicare.

Unfortunately, illness, injury, disability and/or one's death are unavoidable and we often don't like to think of that happening. However, having a plan in place and working with a qualified attorney can help you plan for any of those occurrences.
Five compelling reasons to put together a survivor help document and to do your estate planning are:
1 - Ensure your spouse, family members and/or surviving beneficiary(ies) are aware of all the information they will need in the event you become incapacitated or in the event of your death.
2 - Ensure that your affairs will be managed by someone whom you trust and personally selected should you become incapacitated or die.
3 - Protect assets to be inherited by your spouse, family members, and/or surviving beneficiary(ies).
4 - Provide for special needs of spouse, children, family members, and/or surviving beneficiary(ies).
5 - Prevent or discourage challenges to your estate plan.
Taking the time to collect, organize, identify and discuss the information suggested will allow you to have some peace of mind that you have done everything to minimize the impact on you, your spouse, family and/or surviving beneficiary(ies) in the event of your having an incapacitating illness and / or injury or in the event of your death. As previously stated, don't be daunted by the amount of information that may need to be gathered. The process doesn't have to be done all at once and over a period of a few weeks it can all be accomplished. You may also want to seek the advice of a qualified attorney so you can become familiar with all the existing options available for your personal estate planning needs.
After having read over the ideas suggested you might think of things not covered in this article. If so, please share it with the Lucent Retirees Organization (LRO) and it may be included in a future update. Send your suggestions to email@example.com.

Consider whether or not the City should plan a celebration of the 30th Anniversary of its incorporation.
September 7, 2003 will mark the Cityĺs 30th anniversary of its incorporation in 1973. In the past, the City has acknowledged significant anniversaries with a variety of community celebrations and has used both internal and volunteer resources to plan, organize and conduct these events.
The City had a very large celebration four years ago to commemorate the Cityĺs 25th or silver anniversary. This celebration included two community events, street banners and streamer decorations, a variety of souvenir items and special publicity, including a dedicated insert in the Daily Breeze and the production of a video by Palos Verdes on the Net. Planning and coordinating this celebration required the tireless efforts of a 25th Anniversary Committee made up of two Councilmembers, two honorary Chairs, nine volunteers from the Cityĺs Committees/Commissions and three staff members. The Committee met on a weekly basis from April until November 1998. The burden on staff was significant and was the main function of the entire Recreation and Parks staff and the City Managerĺs office for the majority of that year.
For comparison purposes, the 15th Anniversary in 1988 was completely planned and coordinated by the Recreation and Parks Department, at a time when that department had over 50 employees. The 20th anniversary celebration in 1993, when the City was in the midst of downsizing and facing severe financial constraints, was totally planned and organized by a resident volunteer committee, with almost no involvement by City staff.
Mayor Pro Tem Stern and Councilmember Clark have expressed an interest in planning a 30th Anniversary celebration that could include a formal dinner/dance and sponsoring a golf tournament. The logical site for this event would be the Ocean Trails Golf Course. In addition, the City may wish to offer souvenir items such as pins, shirts and wine glasses, as has been done in the past to commemorate the City's anniversaries. If the Council wishes to proceed with this type of celebration, planning should start now and the Ocean Trails Club House and golf course should be reserved. Staff recommends that any event be planned and coordinated by a volunteer committee, rather than involve City staff.
Although the actual event will not take place until FY 03-04, the Council included $15,000 in the FY 02-03 Budget to get a head start on planning and organizing the celebration. To date, there has been no investigation of the potential costs, revenues and sponsors for a 30th Anniversary event, other than staff confirming that the Ocean Trails Club House is available on several weekends in September and October. The cost to reserve the Club House is $3,000. If a volunteer committee is formed and recommends that additional funding be allocated to this project, Council could consider a budget adjustment prior to June 30, 2003 or decide whether additional funding is appropriate as part of the FY 03-04 Budget review.
Respectfully submitted,

Thunder Showers Wash Out Longwood-Liberty
Liberty moves to 28-23-1 on the year, after its first tie contest since May 13, 2002. That day, the Flames tied No. 4 Wake Forest, 11-11 in seven innings. The Flames remain unbeaten in their last seven games. Longwood is now 22-25-1 on the season.
Longwood got on the scoreboard in the top of the first inning. Center fielder Robbie Bailey reached on an error by second baseman Tommy Bussey (Jr., 2B, Boynton Beach, Fla.) to open the game and advanced to second base on a sacrifice bunt by shortstop Scott Kimble. Second baseman Phil Cerreto then plated the first run of the contest with a triple to the wall in center field.
The Lancers added to their lead in the third by taking advantage of two Liberty miscues. Bailey singled to lead off the inning and moved to second on a fielding error by Liberty pitcher Ryan Page (Sr., RHP, Cranberry Twp., Pa.) on another sacrifice bunt by Kimble. After moving to third on a fly out, Bailey made it 2-0, when catcher Errol Hollinger's (Jr, Upland, Calif.) throw was low to second base on Kimble's attempted steal.
Liberty countered with two runs in the bottom of the frame to knot the contest at 2-2. Aaron Phillips (Sr., SS, Claremore, Okla.) walked and Bussey reached on a fielding error by third baseman Jonathan Watson on his sacrifice bunt attempt. Hollinger then laid down a bunt, which Watson threw wide of the bag at first base, allowing both runners to score. Hollinger made it all the way to third on the play, as the errant throw bounded away from Lancer first baseman Justin Morreim and down the right field line.
The Flames and Lancers exchanged runs in the fifth inning. In the top of the frame, Longwood plated their run on back-to-back, two-out doubles by Cerreto and Morreim.
In the bottom of the inning, Hollinger singled and was later cashed in on a two-out double down the left field line by Cody Brown (Jr., 3B, Boca Raton, Fla.) to even the score at 3-3. On the play, P.K. Keller (Sr., RF, Clearwater, Fla.) tried to score from first base. However, Longwood left fielder David Smiy, Jr., threw him out on a close play at the plate, ending the Liberty rally.
In the top of the seventh, play was halted due to a heavy thunder shower in the Lynchburg area. Twenty-seven minutes later, the game was called due to the unplayable conditions.
Both starting pitchers were still in the contest when it was ended. Liberty left-hander Ryan Page allowed three runs, only one earned, on seven hits over his six innings of work. He struck out five batters and did not yield a walk. Longwood's Chris Briere gave up three runs, only one earned, on four hits. He struck out four and walked two hitters.
Liberty continues its regular-season ending five-game homestand on Tuesday. The Flames host the VCU Rams in a non-conference match-up at Worthington Stadium. Game time is scheduled for 7 p.m.

Abilities Edit
I absolutely despise the x/day mechanic, and with an NPC class it makes even less sense. I don't particularly understand wanting to limit its abilities since it isn't intended to be a player or even get in the players' way. That said, if you really want to keep it for some reason, a general 1/hour mechanic seems like a more reasonable limit. After a few levels that can advance to 1/10 minutes, then 1/minute, and then at will which will help you fill in some of those dead levels you're worried about. If you want them on a limited schedule, I'd seriously start Dramatic Reveal, Deep Pockets, and Awkward Silence on that sort of schedule. I'd also put Teleport Without Error on that schedule as well.
Some re-flavorings might also be in order. Teleport Without Error could be changed to Right Place, Right Time and be fluffed up into being able to be where a random magical effect will occur that just happens to carry everyone exactly where they need to go. This has the added benefit of not being something that the DexM has to even be present for, he can just give the group fantastic directions and be on his way or he can use this as a defensive action to get rid of people.
Deep Pockets I like, but the foresight thing doesn't take into account the possibility that they might need more than one thing. I'd rewrite it such that they have everything you might need, but they can only find 1 on them as a standard action per period. If you make them search they can find up to 5 more as a full-round action each, but that eliminates their supply and they can pull no more of that item out of the bag until they have been away from the group for at least 24 hours.
Anyway, my 2cp. - TarkisFlux 23:11, November 5, 2009 (UTC)
Need for the Class Edit
Do you really need this as a proper class for NPCs? Why couldn't the DM simply say, "This happens"? *confused* --Ghostwheel 18:30, November 6, 2009 (UTC)
- I'm with Mr.Confused here. I seriously only read half the article before becoming disgusted at the thought of a savior NPC. We all have a different way of doing things as DM's and players, I guess. The flavor was fine, its the principle thats just wrong. Cause = effect. It rains on the righteous and the wicked. Let the players find their own salvation or let them suffer the consequences. (Yes, even if it means the death of the PC. Death is always a surmountable obstacle in my opinion.) --Jay Freedman 23:29, November 6, 2009 (UTC)
- I quite agree and wouldn't use a class like this, but figured if someone wanted to make it I'd help them make it as solid as possible. - TarkisFlux 23:44, November 6, 2009 (UTC)

Disney Releases New "Frankenweenie" Clip
Arriving just in time for Halloween, Tim Burton's "Frankenweenie" hits theaters on October 5th.
Tim Burton fans can get a sneak peak of the film today as Walt Disney Pictures has released a new clip featuring the Frankenstein-inspired origin of the flick's undead canine star, sparky.
Walking the line between creepy and cute, "Frankenweenie" is the heartwarming tale about a boy and his dog. After unexpectedly losing his beloved furry friend, young Victor harnesses the power of science to bring his buddy back to life with just a few minor adjustments. He tries to hide his home-sewn creation, but when Sparky gets out, Victor's fellow students, teachers and the entire town all learn that getting a new "leash on life" can be monstrous.
The movie features the voices of Winona Ryder, Martin Short, Catherine O'Hara, Martin Landau, Charlie Tahan, Atticus Shaffer, Robert Capron, and Conchata Ferrell. Watch the new clip below.

Pumps & Systems, February 2013
When set up correctly, a Plan 53B pressurized seal system has the ability to reliably deliver pressurized barrier fluid to the mechanical seal, dissipate the heat load absorbed into the barrier fluid from the mechanical seal and provide an early indication of deterioration in the seal's performance.
Plan 53B differs from Plan 53A in two main areas:
- Barrier fluid circulating loop—All the barrier fluid stored in a Plan 53A system flows through the mechanical seal barrier fluid cavity. However, in a Plan 53B, only a portion of the total barrier fluid volume flows through the barrier cavity. The remainder is stored in the accumulator, ready to enter the circulation loop and replace any fluid lost through leakage that normally occurs with mechanical seals.
- Method of pressurizing the barrier fluid—Unlike Plan 53A, which uses an external pressure source to pressurize the fluid in a pressure vessel, Plan 53B generates pressure by pumping barrier fluid into a hydraulic accumulator, where it squeezes a gas-charged rubber bladder. The advantage of this plan is that the pressurized gas is separated from the barrier fluid by the rubber bladder, eliminating issues with solubility of gas into the barrier fluid. No external utilities are required to maintain the pressure.
The pressure generated by the accumulator is determined by the initial pressure (pre-charge) of the gas-charged rubber bladder. As barrier fluid is pumped into the accumulator, the pressure increases from the initial precharge pressure. Any temperature changes to the gas stored in the accumulator caused by variations in ambient temperatures can cause changes in the pressure. The pressure at any point can be described by the combined gas law:
P = Pressure (in absolute pressure units of measure)
T = Temperature (in Kelvin or Rankin)
V = Volume of gas in the accumulator bladder (liquid volume = total accumulator volume less gas volume)
Subscript 1 represents the conditions when the bladder was pre-charged.
Subscript 2 represents the conditions being evaluated.

Accumulator Selection
The accumulator size is selected to provide sufficient barrier fluid working volume (the volume of barrier fluid consumed by normal leakage over a period of time, typically one month) together with a small safety reserve volume and a reasonable range in barrier pressure as the working volume is consumed.
This pressure variation is determined by the ratio of liquid to gas in the accumulator. The lower the ratio of liquid to gas, the smaller the pressure variation and the more reliably the mechanical seal will perform. Typically, 15 to 25 percent of the accumulator total volume is barrier fluid. Consideration must also be given to the compatibility of the bladder material with the selected barrier fluid.
Heat Exchanger
One of the main advantages of Plan 53B is the flexibility offered in choosing the heat exchanger style and capacity. The heat exchanger is no longer confined within the space of a vessel as in traditional Plan 53A systems. This allows heat exchangers of larger cooling capacity to be selected, making Plan 53B well suited to higher temperature applications.
When matching the heat exchanger cooling capacity to the heat load placed on the barrier fluid, consider the effect of increases in the resistance to barrier fluid flow commonly associated with larger heat exchangers. Undersized heat exchangers will result in excessively high barrier fluid temperature, which rapidly decreases mechanical seal reliability.
Barrier Fluid Flow Rate
The barrier fluid flow produced by the mechanical seal pumping ring needs to be sufficient to enable the transfer of the heat absorbed into the barrier fluid—mostly seal frictional heat generation and heat soak from the pump—to the heat exchanger. An insufficient flow rate will result in large differential temperatures between the barrier fluid in and out connections at the mechanical seal and an increase in the overall temperature of the barrier fluid.
Excessively high barrier fluid temperatures result in a number of problems that can affect the performance and reliability of the mechanical seal. Pumps with shaft speeds below 1,800 rpm need a more thorough assessment of the barrier flow rate due to the decreased performance of pumping rings at lower speeds.
The position of the heat exchanger relative to the mechanical seal is important. It should be located as close as possible to and a short distance above the mechanical seal's centerline (without obscuring access for pump maintenance). Tube or piping connecting the mechanical seal to the heat exchanger should be selected to produce minimal resistance to barrier flow. Large diameter bores, smooth radius bends, short distances and minimal ancillary equipment added into the circulating loop all help lower the resistance to barrier fluid flow.
The accumulator can be mounted a substantial distance from the barrier fluid circulating loop without any impact on the system's performance. Many installations will mount the heat exchanger and accumulator together on the same stand, provided it does not detrimentally impact the positioning of the heat exchanger relative to the mechanical seal.
