  • Seal and locking plate for turbine rotor assembly between turbine blade and turbine vane
    Publication number: 20070014668
    Abstract: This invention relates to a seal plate system adapted to fit between axially adjacent turbine blades and turbine vanes. The seal plate system may be formed from a plate adapted to position a turbine blade in a rotor assembly and lock the turbine blade into the rotor assembly. The plate may also function to seal a cooling system in the turbine blade. In at least one embodiment, the plate may be configured to accomplish both of these tasks together once installed into a mini disc of the rotor assembly.
