SEAL ASSEMBLY FOR TURBINE SYSTEM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent decrease in the efficiency of a turbine component by reducing purge fluid entering a fluid flow path and/or fluid flow entering a wheel space of the turbine.SOLUTION: The disclosure includes a sealing assembly for a turbine system. In one embodiment, the sealing assembly is for a turbine having a rotor blade and a stator nozzle. The sealing assembly includes a pair of oppositely facing seal teeth including concave surfaces. The pair of oppositely facing seal teeth are positioned on one of the rotor blade and the stator nozzle, and are for sealingly engaging the other of the rotor blade and the stator nozzle during operation of the turbine.
