Patent ID: 11111803

Abstract:
A sealing structure for a gas turbine includes a turbine rotor disk, a turbine blade coupled the turbine rotor disk, and an interstage disk interposed between adjacent turbine rotor disks. The turbine blade includes a blade circumferential surface protruding axially and extending in a circumferential direction of the turbine rotor disk and mutually engaging with a disk circumferential surface formed circumferentially on the turbine rotor disk. The interstage disk includes a rim portion and a groove formed in the rim portion. A plurality of static ring seals are mounted in the groove, each static ring seal facing toward the blade circumferential surface and the disk circumferential surface. The static ring are configured such that an outer circumferential surface of all the static ring seals contact the blade circumferential surface and the outer circumferential surface of at least one of the static ring seals does not contact the disk circumferential surface.
