Abstract: Brush seals consist of a static ring of densely packed, flexible, fine wire bristles that provide resistance to the flow. Pressure relieving brush seals can be employed to overcome issues such as hysteresis that affect ...

Abstract: Brush seals control leakage around rotating components from areas of high to low pressure inside turbomachinery. They are known to contribute to the overall stability of gas turbines, therefore their dynamic behavior is ...

Abstract: Sealing in gas turbines is paramount to overall performance and efficiency. Brush seals offer superior performance compared to other sealing solutions commonplace in modern turbomachinery. When subjected to a pressure load, ...

Abstract: Brush seals promise improvements to the widely used labyrinth seal in regulating turbomachinery leakages. Enhanced resistance to the flow is provided by a static ring of densely packed fine wire bristles that are angled ...

Abstract: Shaft seals control the leakage of fluid between areas of high pressure and low pressure around rotating components inside turbomachinery. Static seals are often subject to damaging rubs with the shaft, caused by assembly ...
