Abstract
An assembly for a gas turbine engine according to an example of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a seal arc segment that has a sealing portion and a pair of opposed rails extending outwardly from the sealing portion. The sealing portion includes a sealing face dimensioned to bound a core flow path and has a backside face opposed to the sealing face. The backside face includes a first localized region, a second localized region between the pair of rails, and a third localized region. A support includes a mounting portion and a first interface portion. At least one retention pin is dimensioned to engage the first interface portion of the support and at least one of the pair of rails such that the seal arc segment is carried by the at least one retention pin. A support plate is arranged relative to the support such that the at least one retention pin is trapped between the support plate and the support. A cooling cavity is established between the support, the support plate, and the second localized region. A method of sealing is also disclosed.
