Abstract

A seal segment ( 11 ) includes a retainer ( 21 ), a seal body ( 13 ) having a thin plate seal piece ( 20 ), a high-pressure side plate ( 23 ), a low-pressure side plate, a retainer simulating section ( 51 ) further extending in the circumferential direction (Dc) from an end portion of the retainer ( 21 ) in the circumferential direction (Dc), and a block body ( 50 ) including a seal body simulation section ( 53 ) extending inward in the radial direction (Dr) from the retainer simulation section. The high-pressure side plate ( 23 ) and the low-pressure side plate cover at least a part of the seal body simulation section ( 53 ) of the block body ( 50 ).

Claims (27)

1. A seal segment comprising:

a retainer extending in a circumferential direction of a rotary shaft on an outer circumferential side of the rotary shaft;

a seal body extending inward in a radial direction from the retainer and having a plurality of thin plate seal pieces laminated in the circumferential direction;

a high-pressure side plate which is supported to be sandwiched between the seal body and the retainer and covers a high-pressure side in an axial direction of the seal body over the circumferential direction;

a low-pressure side plate which is supported to be sandwiched between the seal body and the retainer and covers a low-pressure side in the axial direction of the seal body over the circumferential direction; and

a block body comprising: a retainer simulation section further extending in the circumferential direction from an end portion of the retainer in the circumferential direction; and a seal body simulation section extending inward in the radial direction from the retainer simulation section and being a block having a thickness of three or more of the thin plate seal pieces in the circumferential direction, wherein

the high-pressure side plate and the low-pressure side plate cover at least a part of the seal body simulation section of the block body,

the seal body simulation section is fitted between the high-pressure side plate and the low-pressure side plate, and

the seal body simulation section is provided only at an end portion of the seal body in the circumferential direction.

2. The seal segment according to claim 1 , wherein the seal body simulation section comprises a contact seal extending inward in the radial direction.

3. The seal segment according to claim 2 , wherein the contact seal comprises a brush seal.

4. The seal segment according to claim 1 , wherein the seal body simulation section is divided into a main seal body simulation section and an auxiliary seal body simulation section by a slit extending inward in the radial direction.

5. The seal segment according to claim 4 , wherein the seal body simulation section comprises an elastic member between the main seal body simulation section and the auxiliary seal body simulation section.

6. A rotary machine comprising the seal segment according to claim 1 .

7. The seal segment according to claim 2 , wherein the seal body simulation section is divided into a main seal body simulation section and an auxiliary seal body simulation section by a slit extending inward in the radial direction.

8. The seal segment according to claim 3 , wherein the seal body simulation section is divided into a main seal body simulation section and an auxiliary seal body simulation section by a slit extending inward in the radial direction.

9. The seal segment according to claim 7 , wherein the seal body simulation section comprises an elastic member between the main seal body simulation section and the auxiliary seal body simulation section.

10. The seal segment according to claim 8 , wherein the seal body simulation section comprises an elastic member between the main seal body simulation section and the auxiliary seal body simulation section.

11. A rotary machine comprising the seal segment according to claim 2 .

12. A rotary machine comprising the seal segment according to claim 3 .

13. A rotary machine comprising the seal segment according to claim 4 .

14. A rotary machine comprising the seal segment according to claim 5 .

15. A rotary machine comprising the seal segment according to claim 7 .

16. A rotary machine comprising the seal segment according to claim 8 .

17. A rotary machine comprising the seal segment according to claim 9 .

18. A rotary machine comprising the seal segment according to claim 10 .

19. The seal segment according to claim 1 , wherein the seal body simulation section is provided at the same position in the axial direction as the seal body.
