<p>A sealing assembly for contactless sealing between static components and moving components of a gas turbine comprises a gas-permeable, abrasion-tolerant sealing element arranged opposite a sealing tip and secured in a support. In operation, a coolant can flow through the sealing element, for example a honeycomb element, due to its gas permeability, so the sealing element is cooled. A redundant coolant passage opens upstream of the sealing element on the hot-gas side of the assembly, so that coolant emerging therefrom flows over the sealing element on its hot-gas side. If the flow of coolant through the sealing element fails because flow through the sealing element becomes blocked, cooling is taken over by film coolant flowing out of the redundant cooling passage. Coolant mass flow is metered in via feeds, which effect the primary pressure loss in the device. The feeds may be designed as through-openings in an impingement cooling element.</p> |
