A shaft seal for a transmission expander or compressor having at least one rotor which rotates in a housing and is arranged in a floating manner on a shaft, the shaft seal having a seal arrangement with seal tips attached on the hub of the rotor. A stationary sealing ring surrounds the seal tips which are arranged in three seal sections. An annular chamber is arranged between in each adjacent pair of seal sections. The annular chamber which faces the interior of the transmission expander or compressor is equipped with a feed means for a sealing gas, the pressure of which is higher than the pressure in the interior of the transmission expander or compressor. The annular chamber which faces away from the interior of the transmission expander or compressor is provided with an extraction means for the sealing gas.
