Brush seal support

摘要

A support arrangement for a brush seal (50) positioned between a stationary (40) and a rotatable (46) component of a turbomachine (10). The brush seal (50) has a downstream backing plate (54) that includes an axially-extending lip (70) adjacent its radially outermost end to minimize axial deflection of the seal (50) as a result of a gas pressure differential acting across the seal (50). <IMAGE>
