Therefore, while the shaft is rotating, the disc also rotates in the liquid, and the upper and lower spaces of the slab are cut off by this disc and the liquid, so that gas does not flow between the upper and lower parts of the slab. Therefore, it is possible to completely seal the amber zone and the red zone with the slab as a boundary. For this reason, there is no need to constantly flow gas from the supply pipe of the air supply system to seal the shaft as in the past, and this has great effects in terms of operating costs, ease of maintenance, and safety.
