Patent number: 11371368Abstract: A sealing arrangement in a gas turbine engine to seal a gap between first and second turbine components is provided. The sealing arrangement includes a first arcuate feather seal connected to an anchoring assembly of the sealing arrangement affixed to the first turbine component. A second arcuate feather seal is affixed to the second turbine component. The first arcuate feather seal and the second arcuate feather seal are responsive to a pressure differential that develops across the gap to form a pressure-loaded sealing joint between respective sealing surfaces of the first arcuate feather seal and the second arcuate feather seal. The sealing arrangement provides substantial design flexibility since it can reliably provide appropriate sealing functionality while enabling multiple degrees of freedom, such as to accommodate radial and/or axial displacements that can develop between the first turbine component and the second turbine component.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2018Date of Patent: June 28, 2022Assignee: SIEMENS ENERGY GLOBAL GMBH & CO.
