    摘要: A turbine ring assembly includes ring sectors forming a turbine ring, and a ring support structure having two annular flanges, each ring sector having a portion forming an annular base with an inner face defining the inside face of the turbine ring and an outer face from which there project at least two tabs, the tabs being retained between the two annular flanges. Each tab of the ring sectors includes a projecting portion on its face situated facing one of the two annular flanges, this projecting portion co-operating with a housing present in the annular flange. Each tab of the ring sectors includes an opening in which there is received a portion of a retention element secured to the annular flange situated facing the tab. The retention element is made of a material having a thermal expansion coefficient that is greater than that of the material of the ring sectors.

    摘要: An expander may include a longitudinal axis, an inner casing split horizontally along the longitudinal axis, an outer casing split horizontally along the longitudinal axis and spaced radially outward from and encompassing the inner casing. Each axial end of the outer casing may form a respective gland seal housing, and the outer casing and inner casing may define an exhaust chamber therebetween. A plurality of expansion stages including a rotor shaft may be disposed within the inner casing and configured to expand the working fluid received from a working fluid source. A plurality of seals may be disposed within each of the gland seal housings and mounted circumferentially about the rotor shaft. The plurality of seals may include an annular seal, a plurality of dynamically self-adjustable seals disposed outboard of the annular seal, and at least one dry gas seal disposed outboard of the plurality of dynamically self-adjustable seals.

    摘要: A method for assembling a turbomachine, the turbomachine has an inner part for arranging in an outer case, which has a parting joint extending along an axis and is divisible into an outer-case upper part and an outer-case lower part. The inner part has rotor parts for rotating about the axis during operation and static components and has at least one seal extending in the circumferential direction for sealing a gap between the inner part and a sealing surface of the outer case. The method includes: providing the outer-case lower part, inserting the inner part into the outer-case lower part in a first axial position, joining the outer-case lower part and outer-case upper part, axially moving the inner part in the outer case in relation to the outer case from the first axial position into an axial end position such that the seal comes in contact with the sealing surface.
