Abstract

See full text

A brush seal arrangement for sealing a gap between a rotor and a stator includes a brush housing and a plurality of bristles fastened in the brush housing. The free ends of the bristles are supported against a sealing surface on the rotor. Radially circumferential relief grooves are provided on the rotor before and after the sealing surface in an axial direction, such that a ridge is formed in the region of the sealing surfaces, which ridge can deform locally, in particular when the brush housing rubs against the sealing surface, whereby the risk of distortion of the rotor and thus the occurrence of dangerous spiral oscillations can be minimized. A steam turbine has such a brush seal arrangement.
