Abstract: A seal assembly for a rotary machine, such as a turbine engine, may include a seal rotor comprising a rotor face, a seal slider comprising a slider face, a seal stator, wherein the seal slider is slidably coupled to the seal stator, and wherein the slider face and the rotor face define a primary seal. The seal slider may be configured to slidably engage and retract the slider face with respect to the rotor face. The seal assembly may further include a secondary seal disposed between the seal slider and the seal stator. The secondary seal may be configured to compress and rebound and/or to expand and rebound, over at least a portion of a range of motion of the seal slider.

Abstract: An aspect of the present disclosure is directed to a seal assembly. The seal assembly includes a fluid bearing wall including a bearing face defining a fluid opening through the fluid bearing wall. The seal assembly further includes a tilt member is extended from and attached to the fluid bearing wall. The tilt member defines a fluid passage therethrough in fluid communication with the fluid opening at the bearing face of the fluid bearing wall. The seal assembly still further includes a seal body surrounding the tilt member. A cavity is defined between the tilt member and the seal body. The seal assembly further includes a spring member coupled to the seal body and the fluid bearing wall. A passage is defined between the fluid bearing wall and the seal body.

Abstract: A seal assembly for a rotary machine is positioned between a rotating component and a stationary component of the rotary machine. The seal assembly includes a seal bearing face that opposes the rotating component and a slide device. The slide device is positioned between different fluid pressure volumes in the rotary machine. The slide device axially moves toward the rotating component responsive to pressurization of the rotary machine. The slide device includes cross-over ports and the seal bearing face includes feed ports. The feed ports extend through the seal bearing face to form an aerostatic portion of a film bearing between the seal bearing face and the rotating component. The seal bearing face and/or the rotating component is a non-planar surface that, during rotating motion of the rotating component, forms an aerodynamic portion of the film bearing between the seal bearing face and the rotating component.

Abstract: Centrifugal compressor having flow-control blades in which each of the flow-control blades has a pressure side and an opposite suction side. Each of the flow-control blades includes a main section and an inducer section that project away from an impeller surface. The inducer section is positioned upstream from the main section. The inducer section includes a trailing edge and the main section includes a leading edge that is spaced apart from the trailing edge. The inducer sections are aligned with the respective main sections as the inducer and main sections project from the impeller surface to a designated point above the impeller surface. Each of the trailing edges of the inducer sections and the respective leading edge of the main section form a bleed gap therebetween after the designated point. The bleed gap is configured to permit fluid to flow therethrough from the pressure side to the suction side.

Abstract: Gas bearing for an aspirating seal assembly is disclosed. The gas bearing includes a bearing body having a bearing surface. The gas bearing further includes a first through-hole disposed in the bearing body, and a plurality of second through-holes spaced apart from each other and disposed around the first through-hole. The first through-hole is characterized by a size, and a first central axis. Each second through-hole is characterized by a size, and a second central axis. The second central axis of each second through-hole in the plurality of second through-holes intersects the first central axis at an angle in a range from about 30 degrees to about 150 degrees or at an angle in a range from about −30 degrees to about −150 degrees. Size of at least one through-hole in the plurality of second through-holes is different from the size of the first through-hole.

Abstract: A seal assembly for a rotary machine, such as a turbine engine, may include one or more seal segments that respectively include a seal housing defining a seal chamber and one or more fluid supply apertures that pass through the seal housing, and a seal body defining a seal face and one or more fluid conduits that pass through the seal body to the seal face. The seal chamber may receive at least a portion of the seal body, and the seal body may move within the seal chamber along a radial axis of a rotor of the rotary engine. The fluid supply apertures may fluidly communicate with the fluid conduits, and the fluid conduits may fluidly communicate with a fluid-bearing gap defined between the seal face and a rotor face of the rotor.
