CONTAINMENT ASSEMBLY FOR A GAS TURBINE ENGINE

摘要

The present invention relates to a containment assembly (16) adapted to circumscribe a casing (15) for a gas turbine engine (1). The casing (15) has an axial extension in an axial direction (A) and a circumferential extension in a circumferential direction (C). Moreover, the casing (15) comprises an inner casing surface (15') and an outer casing surface (15"). The inner casing surface (15') is adapted to form a part of a duct (6, 7) of the gas turbine engine (1). The containment assembly (16) comprises an enclosing assembly (20) adapted to at least partially enclose the outer casing surface (15") when mounted. The containment assembly (16) further comprises a resilient means (26) adapted to interact with the enclosing assembly (16). According to the present invention, the enclosing assembly (20) comprises at least two enclosing segments (22, 24) that are arranged at least partially in sequence in the circumferential direction (C) of the casing (15) when the containment assembly (16) circumscribes the casing (15).
