Seal between rotor blade platforms and stator vane platforms, a rotor blade and a stator vane
Abstract:
A rotor and a stator assembly, wherein the rotor (30) comprises at least one stage of rotor blades (32) and the stator (34) comprises at least one stage of turbine stator vanes (36). The rotor blades (32) have aerofoils and platforms (42) and the turbine stator vanes (36) having aerofoils and platforms (48). A seal (43,45) is defined between the rotor blade (32) platforms (42) and the stator vane (36) platforms (48) wherein a portion (42B) of the rotor blade platforms (42) and/or a portion (48B) of the stator vane (36) platforms (48) comprise a shape memory alloy member or a bimetallic member. The shape memory alloy member, or bimetallic member, controls the flow of cooling air through the seals (43,45) allowing a greater cooling flow at higher temperatures than at lower temperatures.
