Hello everybody

What is the purpose of having Nozzles mounted or installed on the rotor shaft of hermetic centrifugal chillers (high pressure chillers) between the motor and the compressor section. I was told that their function is to create a low pressure zone in the vicinity, thereby stopping the transfer of lubrication oil to the compressor section from the motor section.
Am I correct ? if yes can somebody comment or expalin it in better way or may I get an experts opinion in this matter.

many thanks in advance
