The invention concerns a mechanical seal in a seal arrangement for a submersible rotary machine. The two seal rings in the mechanical seal, one stationary (2) and one rotary (3) are pressed towards each other by help of a spring (5). In order to lubricate and cool the sealing surface (4) between the two rings, an increased circulation of lubricant/cooling medium is obtained within the area of the sealing surface (4) by help of a cup (6) surrounding the shaft (1) so designed that it operates as a centrifugal pump. The cup (6) is simultaneously designed as a housing accomodating a spring (5) which obtains the spring force between the two seal rings (2) and (3). |
