A fluid leakage detection device includes: an annular member attached to a cylinder head, the annular member being configured such that a piston rod is inserted through the annular member; a passage formed in the annular member, the passage being configured such that a working fluid is guided to the passage from a gap between an outer circumference of the piston rod and an inner circumference of the cylinder head; and a detector configured to detect the working fluid guided through the passage, wherein the annular member includes a press-fitted portion, the press-fitted portion being configured to be press-fitted to an annular groove formed in the cylinder head.

A pump for a liquid product including a body inwardly delimiting a compression chamber, in which a piston is mounted sliding, as well as an external motor coupled to the piston for movement thereof by a piston rod passing through a wall secured to the pump body, through a passage opening equipped with a sealing device including a stack of seals kept gripped axially against the pump body, the sealing device including an axial compression member inserted between a crown, included in the sealing device, and the wall secured to the pump body.

A seal to prevent fluid through a first interface between the seal and a first body, includes first and second band members and a bridge member. The first band member defines a first band seal surface on first side of the first band member. The first band member is configured to provide a first fluid seal with the first body when compressed to the first body. The second band member defines a second band seal surface on a first side of the second band member. The second band member is configured to provide a second fluid seal with the first body when compressed to the first body. The first band member and the second band member at least partially define a cavity between the first band member and the second band member. The bridge member extends through the cavity and connects the first band member to the second band member.

A method for monitoring the condition of a piston rod sealing system of a piston compressor, the system having at least two annular chambers arranged one behind the other in a longitudinal direction and each having a sealing element arranged therein. A piston rod running through the sealing elements and the annular chambers is moved back and forth in the longitudinal direction, sealed by the sealing elements. The system has an inlet side and an outlet side, between which a difference in pressure occurs, and said difference in pressure has static and dynamic pressure component. When there is leakage gas in the annular chambers, at least the dynamic pressure component of the leakage gas is measured in the piston rod sealing system. A change in the condition of at least one of the sealing elements is determined from a change in the dynamic pressure component as a function of time.

Sealing device for a propeller shaft of a marine vehicle propulsion unit including a plurality of sealing lips axially offset relative to each other, with a receiving space for a hydraulic fluid delimited by two adjacent sealing lips, at least one buffer space axially offset with respect to the receiving space and delimited by two adjacent sealing lips, whereby the sealing device includes suitable feeding means for supplying the buffer space with a buffer fluid. The device includes a sampling circuit able to sample fluid included in the buffer space and a monitoring device able to check parameters of the fluid sampled by the sampling circuit.

A seal assembly for a reciprocating rod of a reciprocating compressor, a reciprocating compressor with the seal assembly, and a method of operating the reciprocating compressor with the seal assembly to prevent leakage of gas once the compressor has been shut down. The pressure difference between opposite sides of a static seal is kept low during normal operation to reduce wear of the static seal. When the compressor is shut down, a high pressure difference between opposite sides of the static seal assists with sealing.

A conduit connection assembly includes a first conduit component having a first mating structure and a second conduit component having a second mating structure adapted to be mated with the first mating structure. A sealing arrangement is provided for sealing between the mating structures. The sealing arrangement includes at least two spaced sealing members defining an intermediate space and the assembly includes a pressure relief opening arranged in communication with the intermediate space between the two spaced sealing members.

A sealing assembly for sealing between an oil cavity and an air cavity of a gas turbine is provided. The sealing assembly comprising a seal having a seal element and a circumferential seal housing receiving the seal element. The seal housing has an annulus extending circumferentially around a center axis, radially between an outer periphery and an inner periphery, and axially along the center axis between a first surface and a second surface. The seal housing has a collecting channel defined circumferentially in the inner periphery about the center axis and a draining pocket defined in a portion of the seal housing configured and disposed to in use collect liquid oil during engine operation. The draining pocket extends from the collecting channel to the first surface and configured to communicate collected liquid oil from the collecting channel to the oil cavity.

An improved fluid level verification apparatus with an integral, internal source of illumination that is powered by an integral, internal energy source and is activated by a motion sensor or any other sensor commonly known In the art to detect the presence of a person in dark or dimly lit environments. The preferred light source is a light emitting diode (LED). A second embodiment of the integral, internal source of illumination that is powered by an integral, internal energy source and is activated by a motion sensor or any other sensor commonly known in the art to detect the presence of a person in dark or dimly lit environments is applied to a fluid reservoir tank.

A fluid leakage detection device includes: a rod seal provided in a cylinder head, a rod seal being configured to seal an annular gap between a piston rod and the cylinder head; a detection seal configured to seal an annular gap, a detection seal being configured to partition the detection space together with the rod seal; a communication passage in communication with the detection space; a pressure sensor configured to detect the pressure of the working oil guided through the communication passage; and a relief valve configured to release the pressure in the communication passage, wherein the detection seal is provided between the rod seal and a dust seal, the dust seal being configured to seal the annular gap by being provided in the cylinder head so as to face the outside of the cylinder tube.
