A gas turbine structure with a blade tip brush seal
By introducing a blade tip brush seal structure into the gas turbine, the angle and distance of the brush filaments can be adjusted in real time, solving the problem that the blade tip clearance cannot be restored after the graphite coating wears out. This improves the operating efficiency and reliability of the gas turbine and reduces maintenance costs.

AI Technical Summary
After the graphite coating of existing gas turbines wears down, the blade tip clearance cannot be restored, leading to blade tip clearance leakage, which affects compressor efficiency and stability margin, and makes it impossible to adjust the blade clearance.
It adopts a blade tip brush seal structure, including an annular rotor, a brush bristle adjustment section and a brush seal section. The angle of the brush seal section and the blade tip distance can be adjusted in real time through the viewing adjustment hole. Stainless steel, nickel-chromium alloy or carbon fiber brush bristles are used instead of hard graphite coating.
It significantly reduces tip leakage, improves compressor operating efficiency and stability margin, extends component lifespan, enhances equipment reliability and adaptability, and reduces maintenance costs.
