SLIDABLE COVER FOR CASING ACCESS PORT

摘要

An apparatus for encasing a turbomachine. The apparatus includes a casing disposed circumferentially about a central axis, defining an interior chamber and a first access opening extending radially therethrough. The apparatus also includes a cover disposed in the interior chamber such that the cover is slidable along the central axis between an open position and a closed position, the cover being configured to permit access to the interior chamber through the first access opening when in the open position, and the cover extending across and substantially obstructing the first access opening when in the closed position.
