ARRANGEMENT FOR SEALING THE GAP BETWEEN TWO SEGMENTS OF A GUIDE VANE RING

摘要

The invention relates to a connection arrangement (1) of a compressor guide disk (2) of a compressor, said compressor guide disk being equipped with a plurality of guide vanes. The connection arrangement is constituted of at least two arcuate ring segments (4) of the compressor guide disk (2) and a sealing device (10) for sealing an expansion joint (6) formed by two of the arcuate ring segments (4). The relevant sealing device (10) comprises only one sealing element (11) per expansion joint, said sealing element (11) having a main direction of extension, which extends in the radial direction of the compressor guide disk (2), and a transverse axis, which extends in the peripheral direction (8). The sealing element (11) is rigid to such an extent and coupled to the relevant ring segments (4) such that said ring segments (4) interact with each other.
