ABSTRACT:
A brush seal for an apparatus having a stationary member and a rotating member is provided comprising a seal element and a seal ring. The seal element includes a plurality of bristles and is attached to one of the stationary or rotating members. The seal ring is detachably attached to the other of the stationary or rotating members, aligned with the seal element. The seal ring may be readily detached from the stationary or rotating member and may be replaced in the event of mechanical damage to the seal ring by the seal element. The seal ring isolates the stationary or rotating member, to which the seal ring is attached, from mechanical damage caused by the seal element.
