    摘要: A system for attaching a ring seal to a vane carrier in a turbine engine can allow the ring seal to radially expand and contract at least partially independently of the vane carrier. The system can also be configured to substantially restrict axial and/or circumferential movement of the ring seal. In one embodiment, the ring seal can include a plurality of radial slots circumferentially spaced about the ring seal. A pin can extend substantially through each of the slots and into operative engagement with isolation rings, which are connected to the vane carrier. In another embodiment, the ring seal and the isolation rings can include a series of axially-extending protrusions extending substantially circumferentially about each component. The protrusions on the ring seal can substantially matingly engage the protrusions on the isolation rings. The protrusions can be configured as a Hirth coupling.

    摘要: A gas turbine airfoil (20) having a load-bearing core (30). A honeycomb structure (40A, 42A) is attached to pressure and/or suction sides (22, 24) of the core and is filled with ceramic insulation (50). A ceramic matrix composite boot (60A, 60B, 60C) may cover the leading edge (26) of the core. Edges (61, 62) of the boot may be attached to the core by rows of pins (63A, 63B) or by flanges (65) inserted in slots (69) in the core. The pins may be formed in place by forming pin holes (64) in the boot, clamping the boot onto the core, filling the pin holes with metal or ceramic and metal particles, and heating the particles for internal cohesion and solid-state diffusion bonding (66) with the core. The boot may have a central portion (71) that is not bonded to the core to allow differential thermal expansion.

Each ring seal segment can comprise a plurality of individual channels. The channels can be generally U-shaped in cross-section with a forward span, and aft span and an extension connecting therebetween. The channels can be positioned such that the aft span of one channel can substantially abut the forward span of another channel. The plurality of separate channels can be detachably coupled to each other by, for example, a plurality of pins. The ring seal segment according to aspects of the invention can facilitate numerous advantageous characteristics including greater material selection, selective cooling, improved serviceability, and reduced blade tip leakage. Moreover, the configuration is well suited to handle the operational loads of the turbine.

    摘要: A turbine engine ring seal for sealing gaps between turbine engine outer seal segments and turbine blade tips. The turbine engine ring segment may have an inner radial surface that defines a portion of a gap gas flow path where the inner radial surface may be formed of an abradable ceramic coating and includes a plurality of gas flow protrusions that are oriented transverse to the gap gas flow path. The gas flow protrusions may induce vortices in the gas flow in the gap gas flow path. Additionally, the gas flow protrusions may be series of peaks and depressions between two adjacent peaks, where the depressions have an approximate semicircular shape. The distance between two adjacent peaks may be equal or greater than a width of the depression and the height of a single peak may be six percent or greater than the distance between two adjacent peaks.

    摘要: A ceramic seal element (200) for use in a turbo-machine comprises a first, rigid portion (210) comprising ceramic fibers (212) bound within a ceramic matrix binder (214), a second, flexible portion (220) comprising ceramic fibers (222), and a third, rigid portion (230) comprising ceramic fibers (232) bound within a ceramic matrix binder (234). Ceramic fibers (222) retain a desired flexibility because they are not bound in ceramic matrix binder. In some embodiments the ceramic fibers (212, 222, 232) are stacked as horizontally disposed layers (225). Also, the fibers (212, 222, 232) of any layer (225) comprise bundles of fibers wherein some of the bundles extend continuously across portions (210, 220, 230). An alternative sealing element (300) comprises a first, rigid portion (310) comprising ceramic fibers (312) that are bound within a ceramic matrix binder (314), and a second, flexible portion (320) that comprises ceramic fibers (313) that retain a desired flexibility. Methods of manufacture are disclosed.
