    摘要: In order to maintain a substantially constant clearance between static and rotating sealing elements of a gas turbine engine, one of the elements is connected to a thermally expansible control tube which is fed with hot gas from the engine in direct proportion to the size of the sealing clearance e.g. by using fluid which has leaked through the seal. The control tube is additionally fed with cold air and vented to a low pressure via a restrictor. When the seal clearance is set to the desired value the pressures of hot and cold fluid are such that there is no flow along the control tube. Enlargement of the clearance gives an increase in pressure to the hot fluid which flows along the tube heating the tube and the resulting expansion reduces the sealing clearance. Reduction in sealing clearance reduces the pressure of the hot fluid so that the colder fluid flows along the tube and the resulting contraction enlarges the sealing clearance.
