  • Patent number: 11365639
    Abstract: A sealing washer for use in a rotor of a gas turbine, sealing being brought about on one side of the sealing washer by an approximately radially oriented bearing face and on the other side by way of a supporting face which is oriented in an inclined manner with respect to the rotor axis. The sealing washer is of split configuration and has at least one washer segment with a circumferential washer section. At the dividing point, a pressing section and a triangular section overlap along a dividing face. Here, the dividing face intersects the bearing face and makes sealing both with the pressing section and with the triangular section possible. In order to also make sealing on the supporting face with the pressing section and the triangular section possible, the triangular section is reduced to at most 0.3 times the cross-sectional area of the washer section.
