Abstract: A method and system including a circumferential seal assembly for sealing between components within a turbine is provided. A circumferential seal assembly is disposed in a slot extending circumferentially about an inner barrel. The seal assembly includes a first shim layer and at least one additional shim layer configured in an overlapping stacked configuration so as to stagger the end portions of each of the shim segments defined by the shim layers, relative to one another and circumferentially about the seal assembly. One or more cloth layers are configured wrapping about the first shim layer and the at least one additional shim layer to define a sealing member having a first sealing surface and a second sealing surface. The assembly further including a base plate, wherein the sealing member is disposed on an upper surface of the base plate to provide for sealing engagement between the components of the turbine.

Abstract: Various embodiments include gas turbine seals and methods of forming such seals. In some cases, a turbine includes: a first arcuate component adjacent to a second arcuate component, each arcuate component including one or more slots having a seal assembly disposed therein. The seal assembly including an intersegment seal including a plurality of seal segments defining one or more end regions. One or more of the plurality of seal segments including at the one or more end regions a plurality of jet holes and a channel having a wire disposed therein, wherein the intersegment seal provides sealing of one or more end gaps defined proximate the one or more end regions in response to the thrust of a flow of pressurized air through the plurality of jet holes.

Abstract: The present application provides seal assemblies having improved flexibility for reducing leakages between adjacent misaligned components of turbomachinery. The seal assemblies include a first outer shim formed of a flexible permeable material and a second outer shim formed of a substantially impervious material. At least the second outer shim is configured for sealing engagement with seal slots of the adjacent components. The seal assemblies may also include at least one of an inner shim and a filler layer positioned between the first and second outer shims. The seal assemblies may be sufficiently flexible to account for misalignment between the adjacent components, sufficiently stiff to meet assembly requirements, and sufficiently robust to meet operating requirements associated with turbomachinery. A turbomachine including the seal assembly is provided.

Abstract: A seal for a rotary machine includes a flexible element extending circumferentially about a rotor and extending generally radially from a first end to a free second end. The flexible element is coupled proximate the first end for rotation with the rotor. The flexible element extends at substantially a first angle between at least an intermediate portion of the flexible element and the free second end when the rotor is operating at less than a critical speed, such that a clearance gap is defined between the free second end and a stationary portion. The seal also includes a retaining plate having a stop that orients the flexible element at a second angle proximate the free second end when the rotor is operating at equal to or greater than the critical speed, such that the flexible element forms a dynamic seal between the rotor and the stationary portion.

Abstract: Coating systems for components of a gas turbine engine, such as a compressor blade tip, are provided. The coating system can include a ceramic material disposed along the compressor blade tip and may be used with a bare compressor casing. The ceramic coating is harder than the bare compressor casing and can reduce the rub ratio thereby increasing the lifetime of the compressor blades. Methods are also provided for applying the coating system onto a compressor blade.

Abstract: A seal for a rotary machine includes a flexible element extending circumferentially about a rotating component and extending generally radially from a first end to a free second end. The flexible element is coupled proximate the first end for rotation with the rotating component. The seal also includes a retaining plate having a stop face that orients the flexible element at a first angle when the rotating component is operating at less than a critical speed and under the including of pressure loading, such that a clearance gap is defined between the free second end and a stationary component. The flexible element extends at substantially a second angle when the rotating component is operating at a speed greater than the critical speed, such that the flexible element forms a dynamic seal between the rotating component and the stationary component.

Abstract: Seal assemblies for reducing leakage between components of turbomachinery include a metallic shim, at least a pair of non-metallic end blocks, and ceramic fiber positioned between the shim and the end blocks. The shim may be mechanically coupled with the end blocks such that the metallic shim, end blocks and ceramic fiber are coupled. The end blocks account for misalignment of turbine components by ensuring sealing engagement of the seal to the components. The end blocks may be a ceramic or glass material, and the ceramic fiber may be a high temperature woven ceramic fiber. The ceramic fiber and/or the end blocks protect the metallic shim from reaching harmful temperatures during use of the seal, such as use in high temperature turbines including CMC components.
