<p>The brush seal (10) includes manually-flexible, plastic-containing, brush-seal bristles (18) attached to an elongated bristle holder (20). The rotary machine (12) has a rotor (36) and stator casing segments (38,40) with segments (14,16) of the brush seal positioned one each in a surface groove (46) of a corresponding stator casing segment. In one example, the bristle holder is manually flexible, the bristles and the bristle holder define a monolithic unit, and the brush seal is coiled onto a spool from which a desired length is cut thereby avoiding the necessity of manufacturing a brush seal segment to a specific radius and a specific circumferential length to match a particular stator casing segment. <IMAGE></p> |
