Abstract:
1. A slide ring seal arrangement comprising a non-rotatable slide ring and a slide ring provided for rotation in common with a rotatable component, said slide rings being held in a loosely restrained manner and comprising co-operating, substantially radially aligned sealing surfaces biased into engagement with one another by a main biasing force, wherein each slide ring is axially supported at a side thereof facing away from its sealing surface, by a corresponding support component of a pair of support components, one of said support components being provided for rotation in common with said rotatable component and the other of said support components being non-rotatable, via an annular contact surface, said annular contact surfaces being provided respectively between a respective one of said support components and an adjacent side of one of said slide rings that faces away from the sealing surface of thereof, wherein a load ratio (d 1 2 −d H 2 )/(d 1 2 −d 2 2 ) of each contact surface is about 1.3 wherein the dimension (d 1 −d 2 ) of each contact surface is about 0.6 mm, and wherein: d d d
