IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO COMPRESSORS

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4116937
A compressor for fluids is designed with a rotary driving shaft and a labyrinth sealing gland. The gland incorporates a bleed pipe with a filtering device; any leakage in the gland results in a flow of fluid in the bleed pipe, and any filterable contaminants, e.g., oil or oil vapor, are removed. Easy access is provided to the motors (one of which is auxiliary) for maintenance and overhaul. This compressor design is especially applicable to gas-cooled reactors where coolant contamination must be avoided. (D.L.C.)
