Abstract
A gland seal for a dynamoelectric machine which utilizes a passage through a ring member for conducting a relatively low pressure gas between a first axial face and a second axial face of the ring member. The seal also includes a relief portion in the first axial face whereby the ring member is forced against the high pressure side of the gland seal thereby diminishing the flow of oil to the high pressure side which is desirable in a hydrogen-cooled generator system.
