PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To effectively seal multiple leakage paths in a compressor.SOLUTION: A system having an axial brush seal assembly is provided, having a first component, a second component, at least two plates that generally oppose one another, a plurality of seal bristles, and a base plate. The first component has a first sealing surface. The second component has a second sealing surface. The plurality of seal bristles are received between the at least two plates. The plurality of seal bristles include a first end portion and a second end portion. The first end portion is configured to selectively seal against the first sealing surface and the second end portion is configured to selectively seal against the second sealing surface. At least one of the at least two plates is connected to the base plate, and the base plate supports the brush seal assembly. The axial brush seal assembly provides sealing for two leaking paths simultaneously. |
