Abstract
A hydrostatic seal assembly includes a primary seal configured to maintain a selected gap between the primary seal and a rotating component. The primary seal includes a seal support, a seal shoe, and one or more seal beams operably connecting the seal support to the seal shoe. The one or more seal beams are configured as spring elements integral with the seal shoe to allow radial movement of the seal shoe relative to the seal support. A seal carrier including a radial outer wall is configured to radially position the primary seal. The seal carrier is configured for a non-contact relationship with the seal shoe during operation of the hydrostatic seal assembly.
