Abstract: A turbine shroud is disposed between stages of stationary turbine nozzles. The turbine shroud includes arcuate shroud segments sealingly engaged with one another. Each shroud segment includes a bottom panel with a radially inner surface and a radially outer surface and opposite ends. Each end includes an end face, an end cutback face spaced from the end face, and an intermediate surface extending between the end face and the end cutback face to define a recess. One or more seals overlap the recess of a circumferentially adjacent pair of shroud segments to produce a sealed joint.

Abstract: A seal system for a gas turbine vane includes a first seal layer and an optional second seal layer. Each first seal layer includes multiple seal segments, each of which includes a first leg, a second leg, and an intermediate portion between the first leg and the second leg. Each adjacent pair of seal segments of the first seal is separated by a gap. The seal segments define a substantially complete perimeter of a seal slot in which the first seal is installed. The second seal, which is also segmented, may or may not define the substantially complete perimeter of the seal slot. If present, the second seal segments are circumferentially offset from the first seal segments to block the gaps between the first seal segments. A turbine vane including the present seal system is also disclosed.

Abstract: A flexible seal for sealing between two adjacent gas turbine components includes a forward end, an aft end axially separated from the forward end, and an intermediate portion between the forward end and the aft end. The intermediate portion defines a continuous curve in the circumferential direction, such that the aft end is circumferentially offset from the forward end. In other cases, the forward and aft ends are axially, radially, and circumferentially offset from one another. A method of sealing using the flexible seal includes inserting, in an axial direction, the aft end of the flexible seal into a recess defined by respective seal slots of two adjacent gas turbine components; and pushing the flexible seal in an axial direction through the recess until the forward end is disposed within the recess.

Abstract: A system includes a transition piece configured to receive combustion products from a combustion chamber, and the transition piece is coupled to a first support of the system. The system further includes a turbine nozzle configured to receive combustion products from the transition piece, and the turbine nozzle is coupled to a second support of the system. The system further includes a web plate disposed at a radial position about a turbine axis between the transition piece and the turbine nozzle. The web plate is configured to form a first seal between the web plate and the transition piece and the web plate is configured to form a second seal between the web plate and the turbine nozzle. In addition, the web plate extends in a circumferential direction about the turbine axis and the web plate is coupled to a third support of the system. Further, the web plate includes an inner surface, an outer surface, and an arm extending in a radial direction between the inner surface and the outer surface.

Abstract: An airfoil for use in a turbomachine includes a pressure sidewall and a suction sidewall coupled to the pressure sidewall. The suction sidewall and the pressure sidewall define a leading edge and a trailing edge, the leading edge and the trailing edge define a chord distance. The airfoil includes a tip portion extending between the pressure sidewall and the suction sidewall. The tip portion includes a planar section and a recessed section. The recessed section extends adjacent to the planar section such that a thickness of the planar section is less than a thickness of the airfoil. The recessed section is offset a predetermined distance from the leading edge and the trailing edge along the chord distance.

Abstract: A method and system for sealing between components within a gas turbine is provided. A first recess defined in a first component receives a seal member. A second recess defined in a second component adjacent the first component also receives the seal member. The first and second recesses are located proximate a hot gas path defined through the gas turbine, and define circumferential paths about the turbine axis. The seal member includes a sealing face that extends in a direction substantially parallel to the turbine axis. The seal member also includes a plurality of seal layers, wherein at least one of the seal layers includes at least one stress relief region for facilitating flexing of the first seal member.
