Dry slip ring seal having independent cooling loops

A sealing assembly comprising:

• a fixed sub-assembly (7, 8) borne by a fixed part (3) in relation to which a revolving part (1) revolves about a longitudinal axis (A), and a revolving sub-assembly (4, 5) borne by said revolving part and cooperating with said fixed sub-assembly to stop a fluid to be confined from passing between said fixed and revolving parts;
• said fixed sub-assembly comprising a body (8) borne by said fixed part (3) opposite said revolving part, said body being a fixed body;
• said fixed sub-assembly further comprising at least first and second fixed ring seals (7, 7A, 7B) borne coaxially about said axis (A) by said fixed body;
• said revolving sub-assembly further comprising at least first and second revolving ring seals (5, 5A, 5B) borne coaxially about said axis (A) by said revolving body for cooperating with said at least first and second fixed ring seal, respectively in such manner as to restrict passage of said fluid to be confined while forming at least one internal chamber (14, 15) which is internal to said sealing assembly and which comprises two main walls (16, 17) respectively formed by said fixed and revolving bodies, a first end wall formed by at least one of said first fixed and revolving ring seals, and a second end wall formed by at least one of said second fixed and revolving ring seals;
• said sealing assembly further comprising a thermal conditioning circuit internal to said fixed body and enabling circulation of a conditioning fluid therein for thermally conditioning said first and second fixed and revolving ring seals;
• said thermal conditioning circuit comprising an angular succession of mutually independent conditioning loops (38A, 38B . . . ) each of which (38A) comprises:
• one inlet (31A) and one outlet (37A) of said loop in a same connection face which is an end face of said fixed body;
• a go conditioning channel (32A) extending longitudinally along a major portion of a length of said sealing assembly from said inlet of said loop to a connecting conditioning channel (34A) of said loop;
• said connecting conditioning channel (34A) extending in a plane perpendicular to said axis:
• and,
• a return conditioning channel (36A) extending longitudinally from said connecting conditioning channel to said outlet (37A) of said loop.
