Filed:
Jun 2, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/586044
Inventors:
Robert Russell Mayer - Schenectady NY
Bharat Sampathkumaran Bagepalli - Niskayuna NY
Mahmut Faruk Aksit - Troy NY
Assignee:
General Electric Company - Schenectady NY
International Classification:
F16J 15447
US Classification:
277355, 277422, 277581
Abstract:
In a hydrogen cooled generator, a seal casing has a chamber opening radially inwardly for receiving a pair of seal rings forming a fluid film along the interface between the rings and the rotor. A spring biases the seal rings against axial spaced flanges of the seal casing and static oil sealing grooves are provided at the interface of the seal rings and flanges. A brush seal is carried by one or both of the seal rings or by the seal casing and has bristles for engaging the surface of the rotor. The combination of seal rings and brush seal form a low flow fluid film seal maintaining the hydrogen atmosphere and oil on opposite sides of the housing wall and the seal casing segregated from one another.

US Patent:
6435513, Aug 20, 2002
Filed:
Feb 26, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/791881
Inventors:
David Robert Skinner - Pattersonville NY
Bharat S. Bagepalli - Schenectady NY
Robert Harold Cromer - Johnstown NY
Osman Saim Dinc - Istanbul, TR
Norman Arnold Turnquist - Cobleskill NY
Christopher Edward Wolfe - Niskayuna NY
Assignee:
General Electric Company - Schenectady NY
International Classification:
F16J 15447
US Classification:
277303, 277305, 277350, 277355, 277412
Abstract:
A brush seal is comprised of arcuate seal segments having ends cut in a radial direction with bristles âcantedâ at an approximate 45Â angle relative to radii of the segments, leaving triangular regions adjacent one end of each segment devoid of bristles at the segment interfaces. The brush seals are retrofit into conventional labyrinth seals with the backing plate for the bristles comprising a labyrinth tooth profile extending fully 360Â about the seal, including those areas where bristles are not present. The sealing capacity is not substantially degraded, while affording significant sealing improvements over conventional labyrinth seals. Additionally, when retrofit into labyrinth seals with radial movement, the individual labyrinth seal segments are free to move radially independently of one another during transients.
