摘要:
A sealing arrangement between a shaft and a housing of a fluid flow engine consists of a blocking gas space acted upon with blocking gas, which is delimited by two sealing rings guided in annular grooves of the shaft and radially sealingly abutting at the shaft through-bore. In order to avoid operation-endangering wear of the sealing rings in case of failure of the blocking gas supply, the shaft through-bore is constructed with three diameter regions mutually offset by right angle steps. The steps form each an axial support for the coordinated sealing ring which comes into action when a permissive initial wear has occurred at the sealing ring.

This invention discloses an emergency shaft seal device wherein a packing ring of elastic material the inside diameter of which is larger than the outside diameter of a rotatable shaft is received in an annular groove along the periphery of the rotatable shaft to be free and not in contact with the rotatable shaft, and in the event of abnormal condition of a main shaft seal device used under the normal conditions, the packing ring is deformed by the pressure of a pressurized fluid applied to the outer periphery of the packing ring to be equally pressed to the periphery of the rotatable shaft so that the sealing is performed by the packing ring in place of main shaft seal.

A sealing arrangement around an end of a pipe received in a testhead of a hydraulic pipe testing apparatus, which sealing arrangement consists of an elastic sealing ring and an adjacent, rigid support ring of varying diameters. Both rings are mounted in radial recesses in the testhead and encircle the pipe upon its entry into the testhead. The recess for the elastic sealing ring consists of a flat ring located between the sealing ring and the rigid support ring. For a sealing condition, the support ring is contracted to abut the pipe and the sealing ring is caused to be deformed whereby it flows radially outwardly from its recess against the pipe and axially along the pipe towards and away from the pipe's end. In the axial direction away from the end of the pipe, the sealing ring flows around the flat ring to abut the rigid support ring.

In a twin spool gas turbine engine, a bellows serves to bias a carbon seal against its seal plate and a piston ring back-up seal spaced radially outward and axially from the carbon seal provides a controlled leak path in the event the bellows fails.
