Should the air supply pressure for the turbine shaft seal be higher than atmospheric pressure?

I’ve always been confused: why is our shaft seal pressure always between 0.93 and 0.05 MPa, when atmospheric pressure is 0.1 MPa? Why can it be sealed?

Could you be more specific? I’m a beginner when it comes to steam engines, and I’m not quite understanding it

Compared to the atmosphere, it is 0.93; the atmosphere is taken as zero.

Gauge pressure is equal to absolute pressure minus atmospheric pressure, got it? Gauge pressure is the difference between the absolute pressure inside the steam seal and atmospheric pressure; as long as this value is greater than zero, air cannot get in
