Patent attributes
An oil wiper packing for a piston rod of a crosshead piston compressor, and corresponding assembly method. The oil wiper packing has at least one chamber disc having a chamber disc cutout, wherein a wiper ring arranged in the chamber disc cutout. At least two chamber discs, each having a chamber disc cutout, are arranged in succession in a direction of extent (L), and a single wiper ring is in each chamber disc cutout. Each wiper ring has no play or only negligible play in the direction of extent (L) in the operating state but is movable in the radial direction. It is necessary to set the play in in the cold state during the assembly of the wiper rings. Such an arrangement allows advantageous wiping of oil, preventing oil from spreading in the direction of extent of the piston rod.
