ABSTRACT:
An interface seal for a turbine engine including a rotor shroud hanger including at least one opening, an outer band including an aft rail, and a seal spring mounted in the opening and extending over an interface between the outer band and the shroud hanger, is described. The seal provides a barrier that prevents the leakage of high pressure cooling air through the interface into the combustion gas flowpath bypassing turbine engine components, and thus forces the high pressure cooling air through the necessary turbine engine components.
