  • Patent number: 12247490
    Abstract: This shaft sealing device comprises: a housing that has a storage groove; a seal body stored in the storage groove; and a projected part that projects from one of the housing and the seal body toward the other in the storage groove in an axial direction. The seal body divides an annular space into a high-pressure region on a first side in the axial direction and a low-pressure region on a second side in the axial direction. The housing has a connection part that connects the low-pressure region with the inside of the storage groove. The projected part divides a portion between an opposite surface and a low-pressure-side lateral surface of the seal body into a first space on the radially outer side and a second space on the radially inner side. The connection part connects the first space with the low-pressure region.

  • Publication number: 20250035006
    Abstract: A sealing device including: a sealing member that is disposed between a rotating member of a rotating machine and a stationary member disposed on the outer side of the rotating member in the radial direction of the rotating member, and that creates a seal between the rotating member and the stationary member; and a biasing member that biases the sealing member toward the radially outer side. The sealing member has a base extending in the circumferential direction of the rotating member, a rib that extends in the circumferential direction and protrudes outward in the radial direction from the base, and a seal fin that extends in the circumferential direction and protrudes inward in the radial direction of the rotating member from the base. The rib has a cut-away part in which the biasing member is disposed between one end and the other end of the rib in the circumferential direction.

  • Publication number: 20230341056
    Abstract: This seal device comprises: a movable seal ring arranged so as to be deformable in the radial direction, in a state of facing an outer peripheral surface of a rotor of a steam turbine capable of rotating around the axis; a first elastic member provided to each of end surfaces of the movable seal ring in the circumferential direction; and a second elastic member that is provided to an intermediate position in the circumferential direction of the movable seal ring and urges the movable seal ring outward in the radial direction.
