Abstract:
A stator assembly for a rotary machine having an array of wall segments for bounding a working medium flow path is disclosed. Various construction details which provide a sealing structure for the segments are developed. In one detailed embodiment, a removable seal retainer for a seal chamber bounded by wall segments traps a resilient seal member in the seal chamber. In one particular embodiment, a modular subassembly for the engine is an outer air assembly disposed in a fixture as the subassembly is assembled.

Abstract:
A stator assembly for a gas turbine engine having a support structure and a stiffening ring 46 extending about the support structure 34 is disclosed. Various construction details which increase the rigidity of the support structure and enable the stiffening ring to accept axial and radial loads are developed. In one embodiment the stiffening ring 46 is the seal ring 52 for a seal end 74. In one particular embodiment, the thermal expansion characteristic of the support structure is greater than the thermal expansion characteristic of the stiffening ring to insure that the stiffening ring is in tension under normal operative conditions of the engine.
