Method and apparatus for turbomachine active clearance control

摘要

An apparatus for providing active clearance control between blade tips and seals in a turbomachine comprising: stator carrier segments (36,38,40,42), with stator seals centripetally disposed on them; a shell (10) that adjustably houses the first stator carrier segments (36,38,40,42); at least one displacement apparatus (34) in operable communication with at least one stator carrier segment (12) and configured to position the at least one stator carrier segment (12) to provide active clearance control to the stator seals disposed on the at least one stator carrier segment (12).
