ARRANGEMENT HAVING A SEAL, SEAL, AND TURBOCOMPRESSOR

摘要

An arrangement having an annular seal extending about a machine axis, and a vessel for sealing an L-shaped gap extending along a circumferential direction between a main vessel body and a cover is provided. A radial section of the gap extends in the radial direction and circumferential direction, and an axial segment extends in the axial direction and the circumferential direction. A sealing chamber is provided in the region where the radial segment and the axial segment intersect, the chamber expanded radially and axially relative to the adjacent gap segments. A seal is disposed in the sealing chamber, and a greater pressure is present in the radial segment than in the axial segment, the pressure differential sealed by means of the seal. The seal includes a support ring disposed radially inward made of a first material, and a jacket element made of a second material.
