Abstract
The pressure of a high pressure combustible gas is reduced by applying the gas to an expander having a rotatable shaft that passes through a seal and is coupled to a generator. Gas that leaks through the seal provides a simple seal and is withdrawn for burning to heat the high pressure gas before it is applied to the expander.
