Abstract
A seal arrangement includes a housing defining a cavity and having a flow channel extending through the housing to the cavity. The seal arrangement further includes a seal plate non-rotatably connected to the housing. The seal arrangement further includes a biasing element disposed in the cavity and axially aligned with the flow channel. The biasing element is configured to permit fluid to flow radially therethrough into the flow channel. The seal arrangement further includes a first seal disposed in the cavity and between the biasing element and the seal plate, and a second seal disposed in the cavity and between the biasing element and a radially extending wall of the housing. The biasing element is configured to bias the first seal against the seal plate and to bias the second seal against the radially extending wall of the housing.
