SEALINGGUP DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS551486
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
An assembly for sealing an interface (17) between a high pressure steam chest (13) and a casing (11), wherein high pressure steam flows from the steam chest into the interior of the casing. The assembly comprises a sealing element (22) extending through the interface (17) for preventing direct contact between the high pressure steam and the interface, and joined to the steam chest (13) so that a steam tight joint is developed therebetween. The assembly further comprises a chamber (35) defined by the steam chest (22), the casing (11), and the sealing element (22) in communication with the interface (17) between the steam chest and the casing; a first passageway (36) having one end in communication with the interior of the casing (11) and a second end in communication with the chamber (35), for passing steam from the interior of the casing to the chamber; and means (40), (42) for developing a pressure differential across the first passageway (36) so that the steam pressure at the second end of the passageway is less than the steam pressure at the first end of the passageway. A low pressure region is provided having a steam pressure lower than the steam pressure in the steam chest (13); and a second passageway (44) is provided, having one end in communication with the chamber (35) and a second end in communication with the low pressure region for passing steam from the chamber to the low pressure region.
