Method for removing the leaking liquid from a leakage chamber and sealing arrangement of a propeller shaft therefor

摘要

1. A method of removal of seepage from a leakage space in a sealing arrangement for a propeller shaft (1), where the leakage space (18) lies between a slidering seal (11, 12) next the water and an oil chamber (20) bounded by lip seals (17) and is provided with a feedline opening into it at the top as well as a discharge line (26), characterized in that through the feedline (25) compressed air is admitted periodically at a pressure adequate for conveying the seepage which has penetrated, into a collector (30) placed at a higher level.
