Systems and methods for controlling seal clearance in a turbine engine

摘要

A method for controlling seal clearance in a turbine engine (10) includes positioning a seal ring (46) within a turbine engine (10), the seal ring (46) having an inner annular surface (66) and an outer annular surface (64), the inner annular surface (66) and the outer annular surface (64) both being circular but non-concentric, rotating the seal ring (46) within the engine (10) until the seal ring (46) is placed in an aligned orientation at which a center of a circle that defines the inner annular surface (66) coincides with a centerline (72) of the engine, and securing the seal ring (46) while in the aligned orientation.
