Abstract
Systems, devices, and methods for continuously cooling a rotary shaft seal of a pressure vessel (e.g., of a furnace) are provided. A continuous flow of gas into the pressure vessel can be utilized to continuously cool the rotary shaft seal as the gas enters the pressure vessel. The rotary shaft can have a turbine wheel attached to it. The turbine wheel, when powered, can mechanically increase the natural convective gas flow inside a baffle tube of the furnace, effectively lengthening the usable, working homogenous zone of the furnace making overpressure heat treatment (OPHT) possible for longer canted cosine theta (CCT) magnets and 'Race Track' coils.
