ABSTRACT:
A shaft seal device for a butterfly valve shaft wherein a friction face seal device having a flexible double bellows arrangement thereon is disposed within a seal chamber between a contaminated source of pressurized steam and a low pressure gland condenser. A buffer layer of uncontaminated steam having a pressure higher than the pressure of the contaminated steam is introduced into the seal chamber through conduit means. The buffer layer of uncontaminated steam having a pressure higher than the pressure of the contaminated steam is disposed between the contaminated steam source and the gland condenser to insure zero leakage of contaminated steam past the double bellows seal device into the gland condenser.
