TAPERED GAS TURBINE SEGMENT SEALS

摘要

The present application and the resultant patent provide improved gas turbine component sealing. In one example embodiment, a gas turbine segment seal assembly 100 may include a first tapered segment seal 120 with a first tapered portion 140 having a first tapered surface and a first taper angle 142. The gas turbine segment seal assembly may include a second tapered segment seal 150 with a second tapered portion 170 having a second tapered surface and a second taper angle 172. The gas turbine segment seal assembly may include a seal pin 180 positioned in between the first tapered segment seal and the second segment seal and adjacent to the first tapered surface and the second tapered surface.
