Definitions
- the invention generally relates to an arrangement for fluid seals within a gas turbine engine.
- Turbine engines include high and low pressure rotor spools comprising multiple rotor disks. Fluid seals are formed integrally into each rotor disk to contact stator components, such as a tangential on-board injector.

Also, during operation of the engine, the fluid seal may contact an abradable material on the stationary components, causing wear. Because the fluid seal is integrally formed with the rotor disk of the compressor, the entire rotor disk must be repaired or replaced when the fluid seal has worn.

Abstract
Description
- The invention generally relates to an arrangement for fluid seals within a gas turbine engine.
- Turbine engines include high and low pressure rotor spools comprising multiple rotor disks. Fluid seals are formed integrally into each rotor disk to contact stator components, such as a tangential on-board injector. The seals restrict leakage of compressed air from between the stator component and the rotor disks and separate the lower pressure gaspath air from high pressure air used for cooling.
- Due to the rotor disk geometry, multiple machining passes are required to produce the thin sectional area required for the fluid seal. This is unduly complex. Also, during operation of the engine, the fluid seal may contact an abradable material on the stationary components, causing wear. Because the fluid seal is integrally formed with the rotor disk of the compressor, the entire rotor disk must be repaired or replaced when the fluid seal has worn.
- An improved arrangement for sealing fluids within a gas turbine engine is needed.
- An example turbine engine rotor according to this invention includes an arrangement for incorporating a fluid seal assembly while reducing wear on the rotor disk.
- A typical turbine engine rotor includes multiple rotor disks with rotor blades mounted about the circumference of each of the rotor disks. A plurality of stator vanes extend axially between adjacent rotor disks. A fluid seal assembly extends about the circumference of each rotor disk in close proximity to a stationary component of the compressor. The fluid seal assembly separates the space between the rotor blades and stationary components into separate pressurized cavities.
- A preferred embodiment of fluid seal disclosed herein includes a seal land in contact with a brush seal. The seal land extends about the circumference of the disk rim and includes a plurality of disk land segments and a plurality of blade land segments fitting together to form a segmented seal land. The disk land segments are integrally formed with the rotor disk between the rotor blades. The blade land segments are integrally formed with the rotor blades. When the rotor blades are assembled to the rotor disk, the blade land segments and the disk land segments fit together to form a segmented, ring-like seal land around the circumference of the rotor disk.
- Each disk land segment has a first interlocking feature interfitting with a second interlocking feature on the blade land segments to align the land segments and reduce circumferential and radial fluid leaks.
