System and method for transition piece seal

Abstract:

A system may include a transition piece, coupled to a support of the system, to receive combustion products from a combustion chamber. The system may also include a turbine nozzle, coupled to a support of the system, to receive combustion products from the transition piece. Additionally, a web plate disposed at a radial position about a turbine axis between the transition piece and the turbine nozzle may form a first seal between the web plate and the transition piece and form a second seal between the web plate and the turbine nozzle. In addition, the web plate may extend in a circumferential direction about the turbine axis and couple to a support of the system. Further, the web plate may include an inner surface, an outer surface, and an arm extending in a radial direction between the inner surface and the outer surface.
