Abstract
A high pressure sealing arrangement of the type in which a rotor sealing ring end face generates a gas pressure with a stator sealing ring end face at a functional gap between a cylindrical portion of the seal housing and the stator sealing ring bridged by an O-ring of reduced hardness. The gap width is less than 0.4 mm and preferably less than 0.3 mm. The sealing O-ring additionally serve as a compensation or centering ring and has a material hardness which is greater than the extrusion threshold of this material through the gap and is less than a hardness of 90 Shore A according to German Industrial Standard DIN 53505. Preferably the hardness of the O-ring is less than 80 Shore A under this Standard.
