Abstract
A seal strip assembly for use in a turbomachine having a plurality of stages including rotationally driven disks, and arms on opposed portions of adjoining disks to define paired arms with a space therebetween. The seal strip assembly includes a seal strip positioned in the space between the paired arms and having opposing edges for locating in slots formed in opposed faces of the paired arms. An anti-rotation block is provided, where a portion of the anti-rotation block is removably located in opposed openings formed in the paired arms and is engaged with the seal strip to resist movement of the seal strip relative to the paired arms. A detachable engagement member is detachably fastened to the anti-rotation block for maintaining the anti-rotation block in engagement with the seal strip.
