The labyrinth disc chamber has an outer wall, a concentric guide tube and a number of axially spaced apart discs extending between the guide tube and the outer wall, defining cavities between the discs. Disc ports extend through the discs to communicate fluid between the cavities, the ports being at multiple angular locations relative to each other.
