Abstract

See full text

A spring seal assembly includes a first plate and a second plate. One or more spring elements are located between the first plate and the second plate and compressible therebetween. The spring seal assembly is insertable into a gap between two adjacent components such that at least one of the first plate and the second plate at least partially block a flow between the two adjacent components while exerting a force on the two adjacent components to prevent vibration of the seal in the gap. A method of sealing between adjacent components includes at least partially compressing a spring seal assembly. The spring seal assembly is inserted into the gap and allowed to expand in the gap thereby at least partially blocking a flow between the two adjacent components while exerting a force on the two adjacent components to prevent vibration of the seal in the gap.
