Machine stator and mounting and dismounting methods

摘要

A machine stator and assembly and disassembly methods. The elements of a casing portion are formed of consecutive shells in line with grooves configured to house roots of guide vane stages that are fixed in place by springs and pins for stopping rotation. The elements are arranged in a complete circle, and the assembly is made by axially separating the elements to insert the guide vane stages between the elements by a radial movement.
