A submersible well fluid system for operating submerged in a body of water may include an electric machine and a fluid end. The electric machine includes a rotor and a stator residing in a first housing at specified conditions. The fluid end may include an impeller and be coupled to the electric machine. The submersible well fluid system may also include an adjustable speed drive for the electric machine in the housing. The submersible well fluid system may also include a chemical distribution system for supplying treatment chemicals to the submersible well fluid system, a barrier fluid supply system for supplying a barrier fluid to the submersible well fluid system, and a pressure management system.

One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for mitigating fluid loss or leakage from a fluid pump with a rotating shaft driving a pumping mechanism. A seal gland component can have two or more internal seals formed by two or more seal components, such as O-rings, that create one or more chambers that act as a lubricant/barrier fluid reservoir to provide for reduced friction and mitigate release of gaseous emissions. Further, the seal gland component can be a retrofit on an existing shaft to provide for greater life and efficiency as compared to the existing packing gland or other sealing components. Further, the one or more internal seals can be arranged within the seal gland in an asymmetrical manner such that the seal gland can be removed from a shaft, rotated, and reinstalled with the internal seals contacting a different position on the surface of the shaft.

A turbo fluid machine includes a housing having a motor chamber, a turbine chamber, a first shaft hole, and a second shaft hole; a drive shaft; and a sealing member that seals a gap between the motor chamber and the turbine chamber. The sealing member includes a first sealing member and a second sealing member that is located away from the first sealing member and between the first sealing member and the turbine chamber in an axial direction of the drive shaft. The drive shaft, the second shaft hole, the first sealing member, and the second sealing member cooperate to form a reservoir in which water contained in exhaust from a fuel cell is stored. The housing has a water discharge passage which is communicated with the reservoir and through which the water is discharged from the reservoir to an outside of the housing.

A sealing device includes a plurality of non-contact seals provided along a sealed shaft; a contact seal provided on at least one of two sides of the plurality of non-contact seals; an injection part that supplies purge gas into a first space of spaces arranged in an axial direction of the sealed shaft, the spaces being between the plurality of non-contact seals and the contact seal; and a collector that collects the purge gas from a second space of the spaces between the plurality of non-contact seals and the contact seal, the second space being positioned to be next to the first space in the axial direction.

A brush seal for a rotating machine, intended to be disposed between a first part and a second part of the rotating machine, the first and second parts being movable relative to each other about an axis, extending along an axial direction, the brush seal comprising a body intended to be attached to the first part, and a brush attached to the body, intended to be in contact with the second part, wherein the brush comprises at least a first group of bristles and a second group of bristles, at least one parameter of the bristles of the first group of bristles being different from the corresponding parameter of the bristles of the second group of bristles.

A delivery device for delivering a liquid may include a housing, a bearing, a shaft seal, a hollow space, and a collection space. A shaft may be arranged in the housing. The shaft may be non-rotatably connected to a delivery mechanism arranged outside the housing. The bearing may be arranged in the housing and may rotatably mount the shaft. The shaft seal may be arranged axially between the bearing and the delivery mechanism and may seal the housing. The shaft seal may be arranged radially outside the shaft. The hollow space may be formed axially between the bearing and the shaft seal. The collection space may be arranged radially on a side of the hollow space facing away from the shaft. The collection space may be fluidically connected to the hollow space via a drain opening. The hollow space may expand radially, axially between the bearing and the shaft seal.

A seal structure of a drive device is provided which includes a case in which a motor chamber for accommodating an electric motor and a gear chamber for accommodating a gear mechanism are located adjacent to each other, a partition that separates the motor chamber and the gear chamber, a bearing that supports a rotating shaft, a seal part that seals between the rotating shaft and the partition, a lubricating oil that lubricates the gear mechanism, and a coolant that cools the electric motor, and also includes a first bearing on the motor chamber side, a second bearing on the gear chamber side, a first seal part on the motor chamber side, a second seal part on the gear chamber side, and at least the second seal part of the first seal part and the second seal part is provided between the first bearing and the second bearing.

A gas processing system includes a vessel defining a cavity for processing a gas. The vessel includes a process gas inlet for accepting process gas at an input pressure, and a process gas outlet for discharging process gas at an output pressure. The gas processing system further includes a shaft coupled to the vessel and a multistage sealing system comprising multiple seals spaced along the shaft. The shaft is configured to transfer mechanical energy to or from gas in the vessel. Each adjacent pair of seals defines a corresponding pressure space therebetween. One of the pressure spaces is an equalizing pressure space in hydraulic communication with the process gas inlet via a flow line, such that in operation, pressure in the equalizing pressure space is maintained at an equalized pressure with respect to a pressure in the process gas inlet.

A rotary machine includes a rotating shaft which is rotatably provided around an axis, a casing which covers the rotating shaft from an outside in a radial direction and in which a gas flow path extending in a circumferential direction is formed, a drain pipe which is connected to a lower portion in a vertical direction of the casing and communicates with the gas flow path, an adjusting valve which is provided in the drain pipe and adjusts a flow state of a fluid in the drain pipe, and a gas flow pipe which is connected to the drain pipe at a position closer to a connection portion between the casing and the drain pipe than the adjusting valve and through which the seal gas flows.
