Pressure balanced secondary seal
Abstract:
An annular stator seal support extends radially between a radial inner support side and a radial outer support side. A secondary seal includes a first radially extending secondary seal sidewall surface, a second radially extending secondary seal sidewall surface and a third radially extending secondary seal sidewall surface. An annular stator sleeve support includes a channel radially distal the radial inner support side, the channel includes a first radially extending channel sidewall and a second radially extending channel sidewall located axially forward of the first radially extending channel sidewall, and a third radially extending channel sidewall located axially behind the first radially extending channel sidewall. The first radially extending seal sidewall surface contacts the first radially extending channel sidewall, and the second radially extending channel sidewall is axially spaced from the second radially extending secondary seal sidewall surface.
