Abstract
An arrangement is disclosed for the sealing-off of spaces acted upon by media of a different pressure, for turbomachines, in which a sealing ring is arranged in a cylindrical housing while forming a radial sealing gap as a primary seal, and having a secondary leakage flow passage between a wall section of the housing and the sealing ring which communicates with the space having a lower pressure, the sealing ring being centered by means of spring elements which are anchored at the housing on one side and are arranged essentially in parallel with respect to the machine axis.
