PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a brush seal configuration that can be installed in confined spaces between stator and rotor components of a turbomachine.SOLUTION: A seal arrangement between radially opposed rotating and stationary components in a turbomachine includes a first rotating component, a second stationary component, and a brush seal located radially therebetween. The brush seal has an axially extending portion secured to the second stationary component, and an inwardly extending portion extending across a gap between the first and second components. An inner ring portion of the second stationary component is located radially inward of the brush seal and in engagement with the axially extending portion and at least part of the inwardly extending portion of the brush seal, where an end of the axially extending portion of the brush seal remote from the inwardly extending portion is sandwiched between a pair of side rails fixed between the inner ring portion and an outer ring portion of the second stationary component. |
