Seal assembly

A seal assembly that seals an interface between adjacent liner sections comprising:

• a seal carrier mounted to a first plate;
• a seal body overlapping at least a portion of the seal carrier to define a plane of travel between the seal body and the seal carrier;
• at least one resilient member configured to bias the seal body against a second plate;
• and
• wherein the seal carrier includes an indented portion that extends radially inward of the plane of travel, and wherein the seal carrier comprises a carrier body having a first linear portion fixed to the first plate and a second linear portion in sliding engagement with the seal body along the plane of travel, and wherein the indented portion provides a transition between the first and second linear portions, and wherein seal body comprises an annular component having center axis, and wherein the carrier body includes an inner surface facing the center axis and an outer surface facing away form the center axis, and wherein the outer surface of the indented portion is spaced radially inwardly toward the center axis and away from the plane of travel by a distance, and wherein the indented portion comprises a U-shape wherein a bottom of the U-shape is radially closer to the center axis than an inner surface of the second linear portion.

A seal assembly that seals an interface between adjacent liner sections comprising:

• a seal carrier mounted to a first plate;
• a seal body overlapping at least a portion of the seal carrier to define a plane of travel between the seal body and the seal carrier;
• at least one resilient member configured to bias the seal body against a second plate;
• and
• wherein the seal carrier includes an indented portion that extends radially inward of the plane of travel, and wherein the seal carrier includes a plurality of holes configured to meter flow into an exhaust gas flow path.

A seal assembly that seals an interface between adjacent liner sections comprising:

• a seal carrier mounted to a first plate;
• a seal body overlapping at least a portion of the seal carrier to define a plane of travel between the seal body and the seal carrier;
• at least one resilient member configured to bias the seal body against a second plate;
• and
• wherein the seal carrier includes an indented portion that extends radially inward of the plane of travel, and wherein the seal carrier defines a center axis and includes a linear portion at the plane of travel, and wherein the indented portion comprises a surface that curves radially inward from the linear portion toward the center axis to form an enlarged gap between the as least one resilient member and the seal carrier, and wherein the linear portion of the seal carrier comprises a first linear portion that is in sliding engagement with the seal body along the plane of travel, and wherein the seal carrier includes a second linear portion fixed to the first plate, and wherein a radially outer surface of the first linear portion is spaced from the resilient member by a first distance and wherein the surface of the indented portion is spaced from the resilient member by a second distance that is greater than the first distance to form the enlarged gap.

A seal assembly that seals an interface between adjacent liner sections comprising:

• a seal carrier mounted to a first plate;
• a seal body overlapping at least a portion of the seal carrier to define a plane of travel between the seal body and the seal carrier;
• at least one resilient member configured to bias the seal body against a second plate;
• and
• wherein the seal carrier includes an indented portion that extends radially inward of the plane of travel wherein the seal carrier has a first surface in abutting engagement with the first plate and a second surface facing opposite the first surface, and including a retainer that abuts against the second surface.
