摘要:
An assembly for sealing against the escape of gas round a rotary shift where it exits from apparatus containing gas under pressure, such as a compressor, comprising an oil (or other sealing liquid) film seal means arranged where said shaft exits from the body of the apparatus and comprising an annular chamber surrounding said shaft and to be supplied with oil at a pressure above that of said gas in said apparatus, said annular chamber being axially closed by two axially spaced annular elements mounted on said shaft with radial clearance to provide a passage for oil to flow from said chamber between said annular elements and said shaft, and sealing means for preventing escape of gas in the event of a failure of the supply of oil to said annular chamber or stoppage of said apparatus and comprising an outer chamber, an annular piston in said outer chamber in engagement with said shaft through a labyrinth seal, and first and second seals, said first seal being connected with said piston and said second seal being fixed on said shaft, said seals being arranged so that they contact each other when the piston is moved in said one direction under the pressure of oil in said part of said outer chamber and are spaced apart when said piston is moved in said opposite direction under the action of said resilient means, closure of said closure valve being effected following failure of said oil supply or stoppage of said apparatus.

A secondary sealing device is provided for a pump used for pumping gases under pressure. Leakage of gas between a main seal and the pump shaft is permitted up to a predetermined maximum pressure but once that pressure has been exceeded, a pressure sensor activates a switch to stop rotation of the pump shaft. When the shaft has come to a halt, a high pressure gas such as nitrogen is introduced into a secondary seal circumferential of the shaft whereby a resilient sealing ring is forced into tight sealing contact with the pump shaft to prevent any further leakage of the pumped gas to the atmosphere.

In an electric motor with a spherical air gap, wherein the rotor is supported by a bearing permitting rotation and rocking about the center of curvature of this gap. Both the stator and the rotor have elements with concentric surfaces of revolution in relation to the axis of rotation and facing each other which so overlap each other that they prevent a separation between rotor and stator.

An electric motor driving the impeller of a blower unit located at one end of the motor shaft is insertable in a guide sleeve extending through a wall of a nuclear reactor vessel. As the motor unit is pushed into the guide sleeve, the leading end of the blower unit engages and pushes back a spring loaded cover plate which had sealed the wall opening to prevent loss of pressure from the reactor vessel. When the combined motor and blower unit is withdrawn from the guide sleeve in the wall, the spring loaded cover plate automatically moves back into its sealing position.
