Abstract
A sealing device is described, for separating a first compartment from a second compartment in a turbomachine, a wet gas being processed in the first compartment. The sealing device comprises a rotary component and a stationary component. A sealing member is arranged between the rotary component and the stationary component. The device further comprises an annular wet-particles collector and an oil-jet element, mounted on the rotary component for rotation therewith. The oil-jet element is surrounded by the annular wet-particles collector, such that wet particles contacting the oil-jet element are projected by centrifugal force into the annular wet-particles collector.
