SEAL RUNNER FLOW DAMPER

Abstract:

A gas turbine engine component includes a first member, a second member rotatable relative to the first member about an axis, and a seal assembly that includes a seal supported by the first member and a seal runner that rotates with the second member relative to the seal. The seal runner includes at least one internal passage to direct cooling fluid flow through the seal runner. A restriction is associated with the at least one internal passage to restrict flow through the at least one internal passage in response to an engine condition.
