Why Seals?
• Seals provide high return on technology $ investment • Same performance goals possible through modest investment in the technology development
• Example: 1/5th to 1/4th cost of obtaining same performance improvements of re-designing/re-qualifying the compressor

GRC Non-contacting Finger Seals Key benefits are … • Avoids wearing out parts: No contact avoids wear found in brush seals and labyrinth seals • Reduced flow: <1/3 the flow of a straight
tooth labyrinth seal and <1/2 the flow of a contacting brush seal
• Comparable power loss: Power loss is the same order of magnitude as brush and finger seals

Types of Seals • Habitable volume seals
– Seals for hatches, windows, docking interfaces, penetrations/feed-throughs
– Require extremely low leak rates to ensure that astronauts have sufficient breathable air for extended missions
– Typically made of elastomer materials
• Thermal barrier seals – Seals for interfaces in vehicle
thermal protection systems (TPS) – Must withstand extreme heating
during re-entry – Typically made of high temperature
fibers, wires, or insulating materials
