Brush seal with thermo-regulating bimetal elements

Abstract: This paper presents a new brush seal construction idea. It was shown that it is possible to use bimetallic elements for the construction of the brush seal, which have a thermoregulatory function by relieving a contact area between bristles and a shaft surface reducing frictional heat flux. This should improve the durability of the seal by diminishing the heat load and significantly decreases the temperature of the seal during the startup/shutdown. This article shows a simplified construction of the concept brush seal as well as numerical and experimental results.
