Sealing steam is as the name says - it provides a seal for turbines that exhaust into a vaccum condenser, hence creating a better vaccum, and preventing non condensables from entering the system sealing is of two type say positive sealing and negative sealing used for perffect sealing positive used in hp side and negative in lp side.

What is the role of sealing steam in steam turbine?

"Our focus for this application is the point where the rotating shaft exits the steam turbine casing. At this point, atmospheric air is on one side of the casing and high or low- pressure steam is on the other side. High-pressure steam exists at one end of the turbine and steam under vacuum exists at the other end. Seals are used to keep the steam in and the air out, however some leakage occurs. If this leakage went unchecked, the moisture would create a humid, dripping environment resulting in rust of the equipment. Also, air would get into the turbine casing and reduce the condenser vacuum, and thus reduce the efficiency of the overall cycle."
