ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a vane segment compliant seal assembly. The assembly comprises a seal housing adapted to adjustably receive a baffle plate. The housing has an outer wall adapted to be in sealing communication with a vane segment rail and securely mounted within a combustion turbine. A baffle plate adapted to be in sealing communication with a vane segment rail is provided. The baffle plate is adjustably mounted within the housing to move from a first position to a second position relative to a vane rail. At least two compliant seals are provided which are adapted to be securely mounted between the seal housing outer wall and a vane segment rail, and between the baffle plate and a vane segment rail.
