Abstract
A rotor machine arrangement comprises a rotor, a stator, at least one guide vane, which at two opposite ends is supported by the stator, and at least one end is pivotably arranged relative to the stator in at least a first plane, and at least one conducting member arranged to conduce a fluid into the guide vane for influencing the temperature of the same. The rotor machine arrangement comprises a sealing element which is pivotably connected with the guide vane in at least a second plane, is arranged to seal between the stator and the guide vane, and the sealing function of which is essentially independent of the angular position between the guide vane and the stator in said first plane.

A rotor machine arrangement, comprising a rotor, a stator, at least one guide vane, which at two opposite ends is supported by the stator and at both ends is pivotably arranged relative to the stator in at least a first plane, and at least one conducting member arranged to conduct a fluid into the guide vane for influencing the temperature of the same, the rotor machine arrangement comprises at least one sealing element, which is pivotably connected with the guide vane in at least said first plane and which is arranged to seal between the stator and the guide vane, wherein the sealing function of said sealing element is essentially independent of the angular position between the guide vane and the stator in said first plane, wherein the sealing element comprises a first sealing member arranged to seal between the guide vane and the sealing element, wherein the sealing function of said first sealing member is essentially independent of the angular position between the guide vane and the sealing element in said first plane, wherein the sealing element is pivotably arranged relative to the stator in said first plane, wherein the sealing element comprises a second sealing member, arranged to seal between the sealing element and the stator, wherein the sealing function of said second sealing member is essentially independent of the angular position between the sealing element and the stator in said first plane, wherein said rotor machine arrangement comprises at least two said sealing elements, wherein one such sealing element is positioned at one end of said guide vane and a second such sealing element is positioned at the opposite end of said guide vane.
