7.2.1 Fundamentals of Function, Construction, and Operating Behavior
Labyrinths are the most frequently used gas seals in engines. They are used to seal air and hot gas in the main gas flow as well as for sealing oil/air mixtures in bearing chambers. Labyrinths can be closed rings, as in intermediate stage seals of the rotors, or they can also be segmented and used as rotor blade shrouds. The operating loads on labyrinths are as varied as their applications. This causes specific problems and da…
