Abstract

The invention pertains to a seal system for a passage between a turbine stator and a turbine rotor, including: a first arm extending radially outwards from the turbine rotor and toward the first seal arranged on the stator, and terminating short of the first seal thereby creating a first gap between the first seal and the first arm. The seal system further includes a second seal arranged on the turbine stator, and a second arm extending axially from the turbine rotor towards the second seal base, and terminating short of the second seal thereby creating a second gap between the second seal and the second arm. The invention further refers to a gas turbine including such a seal system.
