  • Patent number: 9945241
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a sealing element (100) of an axial turbomachine for the sealing of regions at or in at least two static components of the turbomachine, wherein the components can be moved axially relative to one another. The sealing element (100) has a first radial region (1) with a first stiffness or rigidity and a second radial region (5) with a second stiffness or rigidity, wherein the first stiffness and the second stiffness are different from one another, and the sealing element (100) is configured as segmented in the peripheral direction of the turbomachine.

  • Patent number: 9835039
    Abstract: A turbomachine in the form of a stationary gas turbine or an aircraft engine, respectively a housing structure therefor; the housing structure including an outer housing wall (1) and an inner wall (2) defining the flow channel; and a hollow space (4) being formed between the inner wall and the outer housing wall. The hollow space is separable into at least two regions (5, 6); a movable wire element (slide ring seal) (10, 10?), which is adapted to rest against the contact faces (8, 9), being configured in the hollow space for purposes of the separation.

  • Patent number: 9664057
    Abstract: A stator vane segment (100) of a fluid flow machine, having an upstream casing-side attachment (1) and/or a downstream casing-side attachment (3), and a platform (5). The attachments are provided on the platform (5). The platform (5) has a first sealing section (17) and extends in the direction of flow beyond a connection region (15) that connects the rearward attachment (3) to the platform (5). The first sealing section (17) that is located in a section (18) downstream of the connection region (15) has a first slot (19) which is continuous in the circumferential direction. The present invention also relates to a turbine having at least one stator vane segment (100).

  • Patent number: 9605551
    Abstract: A casing structure for a fluid flow machine, in particular for a gas turbine or an aircraft engine, including an outer casing wall and an inner casing wall, which annularly surround a flow channel of the fluid flow machine and are spaced apart in a radial direction with respect to the flow channel. At least one cavity is formed between the inner and outer casing walls. The cavity is axially divided into at least two regions which are separated from each other by an axial seal in such a way that different pressure conditions are created according to the axial position of these regions, which different pressure conditions correspond to the pressure conditions in the flow channel. A corresponding fluid flow machine such as, for example, an aircraft engine.
