Abstract
Abstract A shaft sealing device for a turbocharger wherein seal rings are disposed between a shaft and a bearing casing and in order to lower the high pressure gas which passes through the seal ring to a low pressure, a small chamber in communication with the exterior is formed, whereby the gas leakage into the bearing casing may be reduced as much as possible.
