The invention concerns a device for a submersible machine, such as a pump, a turbine or a mixer. The machine includes a driving unit (,) and a hydraulic unit (,) having an impeller connected to the driving unit via a rotary shaft (,). In order to prevent the medium in the hydraulic unit from entering the driving unit along the driving shaft, an intermediate seal device is arranged. The seal device includes two mechanical face seals (,) and (,) and an intermediate room (,) containing barrier liquid. In order to prevent possible leaking barrier liquid from damaging the shaft bearing (,), a storage tank (,) for collecting said liquid is arranged within the room (,).

Leakage storage means for a submersible machine

Two identical mechanical seals (6, 7) and (8, 9) respectively and an intermediate spring device (17) are arranged in a holder which is easily replaceable. The spring (17) is common for the two seals and is connected to sockets (13) and (14) respectively which anchor the rotating seal rings (6) and (8) respectively. The oil containment area (20) of the machine is connected to the area containing the spring (17).

Seal device

Pump

A device for transporting lubricant to the mechanical sealds in a submersible machine includes a funnel shaped guide means arranged on a rotating shaft in an oil room. Oil will be sucked in at the small end of the guide means and flow out at its big end thus obtaining a transport of oil.
