System for providing sealing between a rotor and a turbine casing in a
hydraulic turbomachine includes a sealing ring arranged in a peripheral
region of the rotor. The sealing ring forms at least one hydrostatic
bearing with respect to at least one of the rotor and the turbine casing.
The at least one hydrostatic bearing includes at least two bearing
surfaces which face one another. At least one of the at least two bearing
surfaces is arranged on the sealing ring. At least another of the at
least two bearing surfaces is arranged on at least one of the rotor and
the turbine casing. At least one groove is formed on at least one of the
at least two bearing surfaces. At least one pressure-liquid line is
coupled to each of the at least one groove and a pressure-liquid supply.
This Abstract is not intended to define the invention disclosed in the
