Zusammenfassung: | A device configured to seal a circumferential gap between a first turbomachine component and a second turbomachine component mutually rotatable about a longitudinal axis. The device is provided with a first sealing element connected to the first turbomachine component and with a second scaling element having an inner part provided with a plurality of projections extending towards the second machine component to define the teeth of a labyrinth seal between the high pressure region and the low pressure region of the turbo machine. The outer part of the second sealing element is connected to the first sealing element through an clastic element. One or more pressure chambers located between the first sealing element and the second sealing element are in fluid communication with the processing fluid of the turbomachine to derive a force acting on the outer part of the second scaling element in the direction of gap closure. |
