ABSTRACT:
A sealing arrangement, especially for a flow engine, for non-hermetically sealing a gap (12) between a rotor (10) and a stator (11), which comprises a seal having a plurality of sealing elements that are fixed to a sealing element support, said sealing element support being at least partially disposed in a receptacle (16) which is defined by a supporting element (17) and a cover element (18) is disclosed. The sealing element support is configured as a ring that is interrupted once or several times. Free ends (19, 20) of the sealing element support overlap in the area of interruptions in the circumferential direction. The contours of the supporting element (17) and the cover element (18) are adapted to the contours of the sealing element support and the sealing elements (15). At least one end (19, 20) of every part of the sealing element support is associated with an antirotation device (21, 22).
