STATOR ASSEMBLY

摘要

A stator assembly (16) for a rotary machine (10) having an array of wall segments (48) for bounding a working medium flow path is disclosed. Various construction details which provide a sealing structure for the segments are developed. In one detailed embodiment, a removable seal retainer (42) for a seal chamber (98) bounded by wall segments traps a resilient seal member (44) in the seal chamber. In one particular embodiment, a modular subassembly (172) for the engine is an outer air assembly disposed in a fixture (174) as the subassembly is assembled.
