A shaft seal arrangement in a bore of a compressor housing through which a drive shaft extends, which comprises a first seal sheet fitted into the bore and a second seal sheet mounted on the drive shaft which are secured in position on the shaft by a retainer ring means, the indention comprising: a means for mechanically connecting the first seal sheet with the internal wall of the bore to prevent the first seal sheet from rotating. The means for mechanically connecting the first seal sheet with the internal wall comprises a key loosely fitted into a hole which is defined by an axial groove in the internal surface of the bore and an axial groove in the peripheral surface of the seal sheet. Alternatively, the mechanically connecting means may comprise a projection formed to the retainer ring, which projection is engaged with a depression formed in the first seal sheet thereby to prevent the first seal sheet from rotating.
