The subcavity between a stator seal assembly and the upstream rotor disc in the interstage disc cavity of a gas turbine is divided into a radially inward region and a radially outward region by an annular baffle that extends from the seal assembly partially across the subcavity toward the rotor disc

The subcavity between a stator seal assembly and the upstream rotor disc in the interstage disc cavity of a gas turbine is divided into a radially inward region and a radially outward region by an annular baffle that extends from the seal assembly partially across the subcavity toward the rotor disc. The volume of cooling air injected into the interstage disc cavity can be reduced to increase turbine efficiency because the baffle interrupts recirculation in the subcavity to confine ingress of the hot main gas flow to the radially outward region away from the rotor seals.
