A sealing configuration for a passage through a stationary casing having a shaft leading through the passage and an inner space being enclosed by the stationary casing for receiving a fluid and from which the shaft emerges, includes at least one vapor chamber surrounding the shaft, having two sides and being open to the surroundings. Seals are disposed adjacent the vapor chamber on both of the sides along an axis of the shaft for admitting the fluid to the vapor chamber through at least one of the seals. A suction device is connected to the vapor chamber. A method for operating the sealing configuration includes extracting the fluid from the vapor chamber with the suction device, except for a residual quantity of the fluid being led away to the surroundings.
In an assembly having a stationary casing, a passage for the stationary casing, a shaft leading through the passage and having an axis, and an inner space being enclosed by the stationary casing for receiving a fluid and from which the shaft emerges, a sealing configuration for the passage, comprising:
