AXELTETNING FOR EN ROTOR HOS EN ROTERANDE ELEKTRISK MASKIN

摘要

A gland seal for the discharge passages of a liquid cooled rotor for a dynamoelectric apparatus. Coolant liquid is discharged into a stationary coolant collection chamber surrounding the rotor. The stationary coolant discharge chamber has a gaseous fluid therein. A gland seal ring encircles the rotor adjacent the discharge chamber and a first sealing liquid having a predetermined pressure is introduced into a clearance disposed between the seal ring and the rotor. A second sealing liquid having a pressure not exceeding the pressure of the first sealing liquid is introduced into the clearance between the seal ring and the rotor. The first sealing liquid minimizes leakage of the coolant liquid from the discharge chamber, and also prevents contamination of the coolant liquid by the second sealing liquid.
