GAS TURBINE ENGINE SHROUD SEALS

摘要

A seal assembly for a turbine blade tip shroud including a one-piece bent metallic sheet inter-segment seal having an axial component and a vertical component adapted to fit in a groove formed in the end walls of each shroud segment, wherein the shroud segment has a plateform and radially extending ribs, and the seal fits tightly in the groove providing an axial an a radial component to the seal. A ring seal is also provided for sealing a joint between the shroud and a mounting structure where an annular gap is formed having an "L" shaped cross section, the ring seal having a "C" shaped configuration and one of the legs of the "C" extending within an axial component of the "L" shaped gap. The leg has a wave pattern with the peaks of the wave in contact with opposite radial walls of the axial component of the gap for creating a gas seal at the joint.
